[Verse 1]
D Dsus4
She was always a very pretty lady
D Dsus4
He had always caught her eye
D
They were married in a mining valley
Bm G D
And swore they''''d be together ''''til the day that they died
D Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
D
Twenty years later with the coal all gone
Dsus4 D Dsus4
And the golden lamp in his hand
D
He stands at the bar with a pint and his friends
Bm G D
They all agree together that they don''''t understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D G
Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school
D C
And learns of times gone past
Bm D G
And when it comes to questions he puts up his hand
D C
There''''s something that he just wants to ask
[Chorus]
D Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D Dsus4
Please sir you know it doesn''''t seem fair
D Dsus4
Last night as I walked through the door
Bm G D
I thought I saw my father crying sat in his chair
D Dsus4 D
[Verse 3]
D Dsus4
She stood there with her arms around him and she said
D Dsus4
She promised him a better day
D
But after twenty years of working underground
Bm G D
It''''s not just your job that they take away
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D G
Sometimes he''''d walk to the edge of his world
D C
And stare at the valley below
Bm D G
He thought about leaving maybe running away
D C
But knew there was nowhere to go
[Chorus]
D Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can''''t see
D Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm G D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me
D Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can''''t say
D Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm G D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me
D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D Bm G D
[Verse 4]
D Dsus4
Life goes on in a mining valley
D Dsus4
But the young men leave for a better wage
D
And every day he coughs and he splutters
Bm G D
He knows that love is the reason he stays
Bm G D
He knows that love is the reason he stays
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D G
Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school
D C
And learns of times gone past
Bm D G
And when it comes to questions he puts up his hand
D C
There''''s something that he just wants to ask
[Chorus]
D Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D Dsus4
Please sir you know it doesn''''t seem fair
D Dsus4
Last night as I walked through the door
Bm G D
I thought I saw my daddy crying sat in his chair
D Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can''''t say
D Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm G D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me
Bm G D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me
Bm G D
Please take a look now, take a look and see
