[Intro]
---------------------
Am | Am  | Am7 | Am6 | Am 
Am | Am7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am6 Am    Am
      Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
                     Dm
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
  Am
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
         Am          Am7    Am6          Am
You load sixteen tons    and what do you get
 Am           Am7    Am6         Am
Another day older and deeper in debt
      Am                            Dm
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
  Am
I owe my soul to the company store
Am | Am7 | Am6 | Am | Am | Am7 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am6 Am        Am
      I   was born  one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
                         Dm
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
        Am
And the straw boss said "Well, abless my soul"



[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am6 Am        Am
I         was born  one morning, it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
                              Dm
Raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
          Am
Can't noa hightoned woman make me walk the line



[Verse 4]
---------------------
Am6 Am    Am
If        you see me coming, better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
                             Dm
The one fist of iron and the other of steel
       Am
If the right one don't get you
Then the left one will

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         Am          Am7    Am6          Am
You load sixteen tons    and what do you get
 Am           Am7    Am6         Am
Another day older and deeper in debt
      Am                            Dm
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
  Dm                              Am
I owe my soul to the company store
