G7         C                  Am     Dm                      F         G
Schooldays over, come on then John,  time to be gettin' your pit boots on
C                     Am       Em              Am            Em Am   F
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,  it's time you were on your way
C                          Am                Dm                   G
Time you were learning the pitman's job  and earning the pitman's pay

G7            C                Am   Dm                     F      G
Come on then Jim, it's time to go,  time you were working down below
C                     Am          Em          Am          Em   Am F
Time to be handling a pick and a shovel  you start at the pits today
C                          Am                 Dm                    G
Time you were learning the collier's job  and earning the collier's pay

G7           C                Am      Dm                       F      G
Come on then Dai, it's almost light,  time you were off to the anthracite
C                   Am     Em            Am            Em Am   F
The morning mist is on the valley,  it's time you were on your way
C                          Am               Dm                   G
Time you were learning the miner's job  and earning the miner's pay
