Harry Stone Hearts Of Coal by John Tams
Harry Stone Hearts Of Coal
Capo:no capo
C Am
Harry Stone was a miner born
G C
He worked to win His wages
G C
Riding down the cages
Am G
And raging at the seams
C Am
He worked his stall from dusk till dawn
G C
Sweet sweat and raw endeavour
G C
Black diamonds bound together
Am G
By a strong and simple means
C Am
He met a girl from Ironville
G C
He promised He would love Her
G C
He’d put no-one above Her
Am G
At last They went to town
C Am
He promised He would love Her
G C
Til the blackbirds stopped their singing
G C
The mission bell stopped ringing
Am G
And they closed the coal pit down
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
Left out in the cold , cold
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
They broke the hearts of coal, Hearts of coal
C Am
They raised Their children chapel proud
G C
The lamb and the flag to guide Them
G C
They each strove to provide Them
Am G
With a sense of right from wrong
C Am
And when the strikes and lock-outs came
G C
And bare-foot hunger tried Them
G C
All hopes were denied Them
Am G
Their unity held strong
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
Left out in the cold , cold
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
They broke the hearts of coal, Hearts of coal
| Dm Am | G G Dm F | C G | x2
C Am
Forty years of coal-dust
G C
Is a lot of pain to carry
G C
It made a cripple out of Harry
Am G
But His family came and took up His tools
C Am
And they faced the Orgreave cavalry
G C
While the world looked on and wondered
G C
Their right to work was plundered
Am G
By the statesman-ship of fools
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
Left out in the cold , cold
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
They broke the hearts of coal, Hearts of coal
C Am
The ‘Enemy Within’ They cried
G C
And the boney finger pointed
G C
Dripping gold from the anointed
Am G
At the beggar and Her bowl
C Am
And just like the Union said He would
G C
The axeman came in dancing
G C
His psychopathic prancing
Am G
Chopped out the hearts of coal
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
Left out in the cold , cold
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
They broke the hearts of coal, Hearts of coal
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
Left out in the cold , cold
Dm Am G
Where are You tonight now We need You ?
Dm F C G
They broke the hearts of coal, Hearts of coal

C Am
He promised He would love Her
G C
Til the blackbirds stopped Their singing
G C
The mission bells stopped ringing
Am G
And They closed the coal pit down
