Just trying to put back a little.  If there are errors, sorry.
Took my best stab at it.



[Intro:]
  4 measures beat intro.
   8 measures of C/C7 with bass & chords.
   Melody starts last beat of 8th measure.



[Verse]

                /C7
Well I've been  workin' in a coal mine,


Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine,


Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/G                                /
Five o'clock in the mornin',  I'm up before the sun,

/                              /                           C7
When my work day is over,  I'm too tired for havin' fun....

 /C7
 I've been workin' in a coal mine,


Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine,


Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;


 /    /                 /
      Lord,    I am so  tired

/
How long can this go on? .....

   [repeat verse]


[Ending]
            /                 /
I've been a workin',  goin',  workin',  [WHOOP!]


about to slip down,

/                 /
workin',  goin',  workin'  [WHOOP!]    about to slip down

   [repeat last line 6 times to fade]
