Am G Am G In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, Am C Am Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine, C G Em There's blood on the coal and the miners lie Am G Am G In the roads that never saw sun nor sky, Am G Am E7 Roads that never saw sun nor sky.
Verse 2
Am G Am G In the town of Springhill you don't sleep easy, Am C Am Often the Earth will tremble and roll; C G Em When the Earth is restless, miners die; Am G Am Bone and blood is the price of coal, Am G Am E7 Bone and blood is the price of coal.
Verse 3
Am G Am G In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, Am C Am Late in the year of '58, C G Em Day still comes and the Sun still shines, Am G Am G But it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine, Am G Am E7 Dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
Verse 4
Am G Am G Down at the coal-face, miners working, Am C Am Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade; C G Em Rumble of rock, and the walls close 'round: Am G Am G The living and the dead men two miles down, Am G Am E7 Living and the dead men two miles down.
Verse 5
Am G Am G Twelve men lay two miles from the pit-shaft; Am C Am Twelve men lay in the dark and sang. C G Em Long hot days in the miners tomb: Am G Am G It was three feet high and a hundred long, Am G Am E7 Three feet high and a hundred long.
Verse 6
Am G Am G Three days passed and the lamps gave out, Am C Am And Kaehler Brushen, he up and said, C G Em "There's no more water, nor light, nor bread, Am G Am G So we'll live on songs and hope instead, Am G Am E7 Live on songs and hope instead."
Verse 7
Am G Am G Listen for the shouts of the bare-faced miners, Am C Am Listen through the rubble for a rescue team; C G Em Six hundred feet of coal and slag Am G Am G Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam, Am G Am E7 Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
Verse 8
Am G Am G Eight days passed and some were rescued, Am C Am Leaving the dead to lie alone C G Em Through all their lives they dug a grave: Am G Am G Two miles of earth for a marking stone, Am G Am E7 Two miles of earth for a marking stone. # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz # 7 September 1992
