Exes and Ohs To the Tune of Sixteen Tons
Intro: Em G Em B7
Em G Em B7
Some people say a man’s made of mud
Em G Em B7
A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
Em G Em B7
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
Em G Em G
A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong.
Pre-chorus (muted strings)
Em G
You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Em B7
Another day older and deeper and debt
Em G
St. Peter don’t come get me ‘cause I can’t go
Em B7
I owe my soul to the company store!
Chorus
G D Em
And now, I lay me down to weep
B7 G D
I pray the lord to leave me be
B7 G D
And if I die before daylight
Am C
I pray the lord
C Em G Em B7
I tried to fight!
