                G
This nine pound hammer
                C7
Is a little too heavy

Buddy for my size size size

                     G         D7
Just to get a little brew brew brew
                     G
Just to get a little brew
           G
And when I die
                C7
You can make my tombstone

Out of number nine coal
                   G
Out of number nine coal
