Am
Get the rocks in the box
C C/Em
Get the water right down to your socks
Em Am
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones
Am
We all do what we can
C C/Em
We endure our fellow man
Em Am
And we sing our songs to the headframes' creaks and moans
F
And it's one two three
C/G
On the wrong side of the lee
G
What were you meant for?
Am
What were you meant for?
F
And it's seven eight nine
C/G
You get your shuffle back in line
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am (Intro Riff)
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
Am
And you won't make a dime
C C/Em
On this gray Granite Mountain Mine
Em Am
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return
Am
So while we're living here
C C/Em
Let's get this little one thing clear
Em Am
There's plenty of men to die; you don't jump your turn
F
And it's one two three
C/G
On the wrong side of the lee
G
What were you meant for?
Am
What were you meant for?
F
And it's seven eight nine
C/G
You get your shuffle back in line
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am (Intro Riff)
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
(Instrumental)

What were you meant for?

Whatever you're meant for?

And it's seven eight nine

You get your shuffle back in line
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
