Schooldays over, come on then John
Am                      C         G
Time to be getting your pit boots on
                           C        Bm
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
     C             G/B     Am
It's time you were on your way
G
Time you were learning the pitman's job
    Am                 D   D/C D/B D/A D D/C D/B
And earning a pitman's pay

Time you were working down below
                      C        Bm
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
    C            G/B    Am
You start at the pits today
G
Time you were learning the collier's job
    Am                  D   D/C D/B D/A D D/C D/B
And earning a collier's pay

Come on then Dai, it's almost light
Am                       C     G
Time you were off to the anthracite
                    C      Bm
The morning mist is on the valley
     C             G/B     Am
It's time you were on your way
G
Time you were learning the miner's job
    Am                D   D/C D/B D/A D D/C D/B
And earning a miner's pay
