[Verse 1]
C                         F    C
Here they come with their fine machines
C                         G  C
Here they come with their shovels
C                F     C
Dynamite and the kerosene
C                             G C
They come to pick through the rubble

F                  C
They don't dig for coal
Am                   D7
Baby, they'll strike gold
C          E7          Am       C
They ain't looking for diamonds now
F            G         C
They come to mine your soul

[Verse 2]
C                         F       C
There ain't anyplace that you can hide
C                   G C
Once your map is discovered
C                                  F          C
And they've been tracking you your whole damn life
C                           G C
They know you better than a lover

F                         C
'Cause you're their ivory coast
Am                D7
You're the tragic host
C        E7          Am       C
Nobody's looking for diamonds now
F            G         C
They come to mine your soul

[Verse 3]
C                           F C
So let’s pour a glass of wine my friend
C                           G C
Sit and talk about the old times
C                              F      C
The days of freedom seemed to have no end
C                            G  C
Before we lost ‘em to the soul mines

F                  C
Yeah let’s raise a toast
Am              D7
To ten years at most
C          E7              Am        C
Before the dawning of this brave new world
F         G        C
When they mine our souls

F                        C
And when you’re dead and cold
Am                         D7
You’ll still be bought and sold
C           E7           Am        C
You’ll live forever in a great big cloud
F         G         Am
When they mine your soul

C                E7            Am
Yeah you’ll last longer than a diamond now
F         G         F        C
When they mine your soul
