Cousin Jack Chords

(ver. 1)
Show Of Hands
[Verse 1]

F#m                     D
This land is barren and broken
E                            A     E
Scarred like the face of the moon
F#m                     C#m
Our tongue is no longer spoken
D                     E
Towns all around face ruin
F#m                       D
Will there be work in New Brunswick
E                       A    E
Will I find gold in the Cape
F#m                        C#m
If I tunnel way down to Australia
D              E
Oh, how will I ever escape


[Chorus]

A                         E
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
F#m                          D
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
E                        A         E          D    E
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A                             E
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F#m                        D
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E                       A             E          D
I'm leaving the county behind and I'm not coming back
    E         D           F#m
So, follow me down cousin Jack


[Verse 2]

F#m                           D
The soil was too poor to make Eden
E                       A       E
Granite and sea left no choice
F#m                            C#m
Though visions of heaven sustained us
D                          E
When John Wesley gave us a voice
F#m                             D
Did Joseph once come to St Michael's mount
E                            A     E
Two thousand years pass in a dream
F#m                                 C#m
When you're working your way in the darkness
D                        E
Deep in the heart of the seam


[Chorus]

A                         E
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
F#m                          D
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
E                        A         E          D    E
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A                             E
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F#m                        D
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E                       A             E          D
I'm leaving the county behind and I'm not coming back
    E         D           F#m
So, follow me down cousin Jack


[Verse 3]

F#m                        D
I dream of a bridge on the Tamar
E                     A     E
It opens us up to the east
F#m                         C#m
And the English live in our houses
D                       E
The Spanish fish in our seas


[Chorus]

A                         E
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
F#m                          D
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
E                        A         E          D    E
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A                             E
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F#m                        D
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E                       A             E          D
I'm leaving the county behind and I'm not coming back
    E         D           F#m
So, follow me down cousin Jack
