My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken

My life that is lived is no more than token

Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why

The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence

They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

Am Dm F Dm G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

There'll be food on the table to night
C Dm F Dm G
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
G Dm Am F G
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight

C Am
The candy store pauupers lie to share holders
C Am
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
F G Am
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine
C Am
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
F G Am
Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night
Bridge:
Am Bb/E Dm G
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

Who's gonna save me

Who's gonna save me

Who's gonna save me

And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

And some have sailed from a distant shore

And the company takes what the company wants
Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MIDNIGHT OIL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
