Sixteen Tons

Chords
pin

Dm                                 A
Some people say a man is made outta mud
     Dm                                A
But poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Dm                    Gm
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
   A
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

    I think you should add cords to the other parts it doesn't sound right playing the same cords from the start
