5 15 Am Mark Knopfler
[D]5.15 a.m.
Snow laying all around
[G]A collier cycles home
From his night shift under[D]ground
[A]Past the silent pub
Primary school, workingmens club
[Em]On the road from the pithead
The churchyard [G]packed
With mining [D]dead
[D]Then beneath the bridge
He comes to a giant car
[G]A shroud of snow upon the roof
A Mark Ten Jagu[D]ar
[A]He thought the man was fast asleep
Silent, still and deep
[Em]Both dead and cold
Shot [G]through
With bullet [D]holes
[Gmaj7]The one armed bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
[D]Came up from cockneyland
E-type Jags and flashy suits
[Gmaj7]Put your money in
Pull the levers
Watch them spin
[D]Cash cows in all the pubs
But he preferred the new nightclubs
[A]Nineteen sixty-seven
Bandit men in birdcage heaven
[Bm]
La dolce vita, sixty-nine
[G]All new to people of the Tyne [D] [A]
[D]Who knows who did what
Somebody made a call
They [G]said his hands
Were in the pot
That he'd been skimming [D]hauls
[A]He picks up the swag
They gaily gave away
[Em]Drives his giant Jag
Off [G]to his big pay [D]day
[Gmaj7]The bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
[D]Came up from cockneyland
E-type Jags and flashy suits
[Gmaj7]The bandit man
Came up the great north road
[D]Up to geordieland
To mine A
The mother lode
[D]Seams blew up or cracked
Black diamonds came hard won
[G]Generations toiled and hacked
For a pittance and black [D]lung
[A]Crushed by tub or stone
Together
And alone
[Em]How the young and old
Paid the [G]price of [D]coal
[A]Eighteen sixty-seven
My angel's gone to heaven
[Bm]He'll be happy there
[G]Sunlight and sweet clean air [D] [A]
[D]They gather round the glass
Tough hewers and crutters
[Bm]Child trappers and putters
The little foals [G]and half-[A]marrows
[Em]Who pushed
And pulled the [A]barrows
[Em]The hod boys
And the [G]rolleywaymen
[D]5.15 a.m.
