{c: }
[Em] This land is barren and [C] broken,
[D] Scarred like the face of the [G] moon [D]
[Em] Our tongue is no longer [Bm] spoken
And the [C] towns all around facing [D] ruin
[Em] Will there be work in New [C] Brunswick?
[D] Will I find gold in the [G] Cape? [D]
[Em] I can tunnel way down to Aus[Bm]tralia
[C] Oh but I’ll ever es[D]cape
{c: }
[G] Where there's a mine or a [D] hole in the ground
[Em] That's what I'm heading for [C] that's where I'm bound
So [D] look for me under the [G] lode or [D] inside the [C] vein,
[Em] Where the [G] copper the clay, where the [D] arsenic and tin
[Em] Run in your blood they get [C] under your skin
[D] I'm leaving the county be[G]hind, and I'm [D] not coming [C] back
So [D] follow me [C] down, cousin [Em] Jack.
{c: }
[Em] The soil was too poor to make [C] Eden,
[D] Granite and sea left no [G] choice [D]
[Em] Though visions of heaven su[Bm]stained us,
When John [C] Wesley gave us a [D] voice
[Em] Did Joseph once come to St [C] Michaels Mount
[D] Two thousand years pass in a [G] dream [D]
[Em] When you're working your way in the [Bm] darkness,
[C] Deep in the heart of the [D] seam.
{c: }
[G] Where there's a mine or a [D] hole in the ground
[Em] That's what I'm heading for [C] that's where I'm bound
So [D] look for me under the [G] lode or [D] inside the [C] vein,
[Em] Where the [G] copper the clay, where the [D] arsenic and tin
[Em] Run in your blood they get [C] under your skin
[D] I'm leaving the county be[G]hind, and I'm [D] not coming [C] back
So [D] follow me [C] down, cousin [Em] Jack.
{c: }
[Em] I dream of a bridge across the [C] Tamar
It [D] opens us up to the [C] East [G]
In my dream I see the [Em] English and they live in our [C] houses
I see the [D] Spanish fishing in our [Em] seas
{c: }
[G] Where there's a mine or a [D] hole in the ground
[Em] That's what I'm heading for [C] that's where I'm bound
So [D] look for me under the [G] lode or [D] inside the [C] vein,
[Em] Where the [G] copper the clay, where the [D] arsenic and tin
[Em] Run in your blood they get [C] under your skin
[D] I'm leaving the county be[G]hind, and I'm [D] not coming [C] back
So [D] follow me [C] down, cousin [Em] Jack.
{c: }
So [D] follow me [C] down, cousin [Em] Jack.
So [D] follow me [C] down, cousin [Em] Jack.
So [D] follow me [C] down
