Charity Main by Rod Clements
Charity Main
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Bm
In the North of the country, the wind whips you raw
Em D
The coal-wagons rattle their way to the shore
Em D C
You can see us together, bowed down in the rain
Em D Em
Putting our time in on Charity Main
[Verse 2]
Bm
There's work, but there's never enough to go round
Em D
So we gather our coal from the waste on the ground
Em D C
It's there for the taking, and it gives them no gain
Em D Em
And the fire in the grate comes from Charity Main
[Chorus]
A
So follow me, children, and don't give up hope
Em
We'll find all we need on the side of the slope
A
Follow me, children, and one day you'll learn
Em D C B
The fire in the land is just waiting to burn
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
There's some of us here 'cause the earth took our kin
Em D
And some 'cause the company won't let us in
Em D C
But here we can dig and it won't be in vain
Em D Em
And it's home with the pickings from Charity Main
[Instrumental]
Em Bm Em D Em D C Em D Em
[Chorus]
A
So follow me, children, and don't give up hope
Em
We'll find all we need on the side of the slope
A
Follow me, children, and one day you'll learn
Em D C B
The fire in the land is just waiting to burn
[Verse 4]
Em Bm
And when they decide that it's no longer worth
Em D
Sending men down to bring coal from the earth
Em D C
The ghosts of our land will be all that remain
Em D Em
And the flowers that grow upon Charity Main
[Outro]
Em Bm Em D Em
