C         G    F      Am
My young man wears a frown
Am    F            D	        Asus4	    C		
With his eyes all closed and his head bowed down,
G	  C         D
My young man never sleeps.
C    Asus4     E	      Dm         
Oh the rain it falls upon his back,
Dm	  E		 B   Am
The dust before his eyes is black,
F        D	       Dm      C
Oft the times, oft the times my young man weeps.

C        G     F      Am
My young man wears a coat,
G       F                 G
Once, long ago, a bonnie coat
G		    C	       Em   
Which my young man wore with pride.
C				Dm
Now I dress the coat all on his back,
G	            Em	    Am
For love for him I will not lack,
Am             Dm				 Em     
But to see it now, that collier�s coat, I can�t abide.

C			   F
My young man, where�s he gone?
C     F      Dm		  F	  G
Once in his eyes my whole world shone
G       Am	           Dm
Now my young man he looks away.
Dm	        Em       G
Man and wife we used to be
 G        C		       Am
Now he�s like a child upon my knee
F          Dm	     G			    C
And in my arms I help my young man through the day.

C		        F
A young girl no more am I
F				     G
But I shall not weep and I will not cry,
G       Am	           Dm
For my young man needs me still.
Am	     F	  Em      G
If someone�s watching up above
G       C	        Am    F
You�ll see how much my dear I love,
F    Asus4    Dm	       G	      C	
So leave him here, I need him now and always will.
C	         F   Em	     G
Oh if someone�s watching up above
G	C	        Am     F
You�ll see how much my dear I love,
F	  Am   Dm       G		C
And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well
