Well, the [Em]whole town's on the [G]loop line
[D]Two odd rules a [C]day
[Em]Pennies a -risin' [G]with the sun
Except [D]for the day that mum gets her pay
The [Em]black man and the [G]white man
A [D]scratch in a sunburned [C]face
Well, they're [Em]digging themselves
a [G]hole in the ground
To [D]find a [G]better [D]place
Whoa -oh -o[C]h
Everybody wants a holiday
[D]With a full day's pay
Some [C]people need it

[Verse 2]
Well the [Em]children watch a farm[G]er
[D]twelve hours full of [C]sweat
They [Em]look in his eye and [G]see the future
[D]in a leather -skinned spinner's bet
While the [Em]black man and the [G]white man
still scratch a weary [C]face
And they're [Em]digging themselves
a [G]hole in the ground
to find [D]a better place
Woah, [C]everybody wants a holiday
[D]But the full day's pay
Some [C]people need it,
some people steal it
[D]Some people have it anyway
[C]Can you see your children
falling [D]down
Calhounese Hill?
[C]Woah, can they see the future
in our [D]finders?
Golden [G]swill,
[Bm]when it's another [C]night
[D]Golden [G]swill, [Bm]when it's another
[C]night[D][G][Bm][C][D]
It's been a [G]long time sweat[Bm]ing
When you're [C]on the golden [D]mile
Oh, Cal[G]hounie, we [Bm]went to Calhounie
[C]Oh,[D] Ca[G]lhounie,
we [Bm]went to Calhounie
