Some peo-ple say a man 

 5  -6  -6  -6  5
is made out of mud

5   7   -6    -6   
A poor man's made 

 5   5  -6 -6  -6    5
out of mus-cle and blood

-6  -6  -6   -6   -6   -8  -8   -8
Mus-cle and blood and skin and bones,

-8 -10 -9  -8     -6  
 A  mi-nd that's weak 
 
  5  5  -6   -6       5
 and a back that's strong,

 5    6  -6   -6   -6  
You load six-teen tons 

 7    7   7 -6   -6
and what do you get?

An-other day old-er and deep-er in debt

Saint Pe-ter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I  o-we my soul to the com-pa-ny store
