The Caves Of Jericho

Dm                Dm7/C                   G       A
They should have known that trouble was brewing
Dm                Dm7/C                 Asus4     A
They should have seen what the old men knew
Bb                       F/A
They should have shut us down
          Gm                 Dm
When the hail fell to the ground
        Eb           Bb/D    C    A
From a cloudy sky of baby blue

Dm                Dm7/C        G       A
Three o'clock on a cold, cold morning
Dm            Dm7/C          Asus4     A
The big bell wailed as if on cue.
Bb                   F/A
A woman's scream was heard
        Gm             Dm
And the news came afterwards
        Eb              Bb/D    C    A
"It's a blow out down in Number Two!"

         Dm/B        F/C
Down in Jericho Kentucky
     A/C#                 Dm
The mines have all caved in
Bb      E/G#   A    C
Down in Jericho
        F
Broken hearts don't mend
E7            D#maj7       D
Tear stained eyes of kin
      Bb                  C#                F     A   A/C#
Never ever seen what the future might have been

Dm            Dm7/C                       G       A
The hat lamps burned with a flame like lightning
Dm              Dm7/C               Asus4     A
The coal dust blanketed the morning dew.
Bb                        F/A
The young ones looked for kin
              Gm             Dm
And the blind man, he looks grim.
           Eb                      Bb/D    C    A
'Cause he sees there's nothing that he can do.

Dm                Dm7/C                       G       A
They pumped up the mud and they chunked out water,
Dm                 Dm7/C                   Asus4     A
They scratched the earth till it turned to sand
Bb                   F/A
And a half mile down below
            Gm                Dm
It's a lost cause the miners know
          Eb               Bb/D       C    A
Meet your maker, boys, the time's at hand.

         Dm/B        F/C

     A/C#                 Dm
The mines have all caved in

Down in Jericho
        F
Broken hearts don't mend
E7            D#maj7       D
Tear stained eyes of kin
      Bb                  C#                F     A   A/C#
Never ever seen what the future might have been

Dm              Dm7/C                 G       A
The fire boss's hands are clean as a whistle
Dm          Dm7/C                Asus4     A
The fat cat knows he's a company man
Bb                                F/A
But he should have bowed down his head
            Gm                Dm
When they hauled out all the dead
         Eb                     Bb/D  C    A
But it's business, boys, start 'em up again.

Broken hearts don't mend
E7            D#maj7       D
Tear stained eyes of kin
      Bb                  C#                F     A   A/C#
Never ever seen what the future might have been

        F
Broken hearts don't mend
E7            D#maj7       D
Tear stained eyes of kin
      Bb
Never ever seen
C#                F     A   A/C#
What the future might have been.
