Am C

[Verse 1]

  Am                        G           C
I ran these hills since the day I could stand
   Am                            G             C
And I worked the mines since the year I turned ten
       Am                     G        C
We got married and danced to "Canon in D"
               Am             G           C
And I held our baby with your eyes at seventeen

Am G C x2

[Verse 2]
      Am                             G        C
And I kissed you goodbye beneath the December sky
     Am                       G              C
Then I walked to work through Mononga to the mine
        Am                      G           C
Through king coal's hall to the wall that I pine
             Am      G             C
That day cut short, a spark by the divine

[Chorus]
            G          C
So don't go weeping so long
         F             C
Sing the melody of our song
           Am          G
'Cause I'm back in the clay
           F            C
Where I'll find you someday
    Am       G            C
But Darlin', sorry for the wait

Am G C x2

[Verse 3]
         Am                  G                  C
When you miss talkin' at me, holler t'wards the mine
     Am                     G      C
It's amazing how your voice echoes inside
         Am            G            C
When the winter breeze tugs at your hair
                   Am        G             C
Jus know that it's me with a grin standing there

[Chorus]
            G          C
So don't go weeping so long
         F             C
Sing the melody of our song
           Am          G
'Cause I'm back in the clay
           F        C
Where I'll find you someday
    Am       G            C
But Darlin', sorry for the wait

Am G C x2
Em F Am G F C

[Chorus]
            G          C
So don't go weeping so long
         F             C
Sing the melody of our song
           Am          G
'Cause I'm back in the clay
           F            C
Where I'll find you someday
            G          C
So don't go weeping so long
         F             C
Sing the melody of our song
           Am          G
'Cause I'm back in the clay
           F            C
Where I'll find you someday
    Am       G            C
But Darlin', sorry for the wait

[Outro]
        F     G       C
Yes I'm sorry for the wait
   Am       G             C
Oh Darlin', sorry for the wait
