Intro: Am
C G Am
Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird
G Em Am
Singing with all his heart and soul?
C G Am
He's got a blood red spot on his wing
G Am
And all the rest of him's black as coal
C G Am
Of all the colours I ever did see
G Em Am
Red and black are the ones I dread
C G Am
For when a man spills blood on the coal
G Am
They carry him down from the coal mines dead
