The Canny Miner Lad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh, [E]bonn[Am]ie is my lad
as he walks down the street
With his lamp in his hand,
oh, [G]canny and neat
His [Am]teeth white as ivory,
his [G]eyes black as [Am]sloughs,
Oh, I love my minor lad,
[G]everyone kno[Am]ws.
Sometimes he has money,
sometimes none at all,
But he'll share what he has,
[C]be it nev[G]er so small.
[Am]Melody is play,
the [G]melody may have [Am]came
And he'll stand by his word
when [C]he's [G]spoken his [Am]mind
The huntsman's delight
is to plough the loud horn
The farmer is happier [G]reaping the corn
But the [Am]miner's delight
is the [G]peck in his [Am]hand,
And he'll win all the coal
that lies [G]un [Bm]der the l[Am]and.[Dm][Am]
He'll build us a castle,
O highest renown,
That ladies and misters will [G]never full do.
The [Am]king loves his queen
and the [G]emperor the [Am]same
But I love my mime and [C]lord,
[G]who [Bm]can [G]we blame?

[Outro 1]
[Am]
