Charity Main ( Clements/Stonier )   from: Stamping Ground
------------


Intro:	Em


1.)
In the North of the country, the wind whips you raw
	Em			  Bm
the coal-wagons rattle their way to the shore
     Em			      D
you can see us together, bowed down in the rain
	 Em			D	    C
putting our time in on Charity Main.
 Em			D	Em


2.)
There's work, but there's never enough to go round
	 Em			  Bm
so we gather our coal from the waste on the ground
	Em			D
it's there for the taking, and it gives them no gain
       Em			   D		 C
and the fire in the grate comes from Charity Main.
	 Em			      D	      Em


Chorus:
So follow me, children, and don't give up hope
    A
we'll find all we need on the side of the slope
       Em
follow me, children, and one day you'll learn
 A
the fire in the land is just waiting to burn ...
     Em	 	 D	      C		 B

3.)
There's some of us here 'cos the earth took our kin
	 Em			  Bm
and some 'cos the company won't let us in
     Em			  	 D
but here we can dig and it won't be in vain
     Em			     D		 C
and it's home with the pickings from Charity Main.
          Em			      D	      Em

Chorus:
So follow me, children, and don't give up hope
    A
we'll find all we need on the side of the slope

follow me, children, and one day you'll learn

the fire in the land is just waiting to burn ...
     Em	 	 D	      C		 B


4.)
And when they decide that it's no longer worth
     Em			       Bm
sending men down to bring coal from the earth
 Em			   D
the ghosts of our land will be all that remain
     Em				D	  C
and the flowers that grow upon Charity Main.
	 Em			D	Em
