Tonart: B minor•
Verse 1
Bm
Come gather round, friends,
A
and I'll tell you a tale
Bm
A
Bm
Of where the red iron orbits run aplenty
At the carpet -filled windows
A
and old men on the benches
Bm
A
Bm
Tell you now that the whole town is empty
In the north end of town
A
my own children are gone
Bm
A
Bm
But I was raised on the other
In the years of youth
Bm
A
Bm
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron oar pulled
A
as the years passed the door
Bm
A
The drag lines and the shovels
Till one day my brother
Bm
A
Bm
The same as my father before him
Where the long winters
waved
A
from the window I watched
A
Bm
they couldn't have been kinder
Till my school was cut
A
as I quit in the spring
Bm
A
Bm
To marry John Thomas, a miner
All the years passed again
A
and the giving was good
Bm
A
Bm
With a lunch bucket filled every season
There were three babies born,
Bm
A
Bm
To a half a day's shift with no reason
And the shaft was soon shut
Bm
F#m
Bm
And the fire in the air, felt frozen
Until a man came to speak
A
and he said in one week
Bm
A
Bm
That number 11 was closing
They complain in these,
A
they're paying too high
Bm
And they say that your ore
A
Bm
ain't worth digging
And it's much cheaper down
A
in the South American towns
Bm
A
Where the miners work almost for
Bm
A
Bm
A
nothing
Bm
A
Bm
A
Bm
So the morning gates locked
A
and the red iron rugged
Bm
A
Bm
And the room smelled heavy from drinking
And the sad siren's song
A
breathed the air twice as long
Bm
A
Bm
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window
A
as he talked to himself
Bm
A
Bm
And the silence of transit was building
A
Till one morning's wake the bed,
it was black
Bm
A
Bm
And I's left alone with three children
The summer is gone
A
and the ground's turning cold
Bm
A
Bm
And the stars, one by one, they are falling
A
My children will go as soon as they come
Bm
A
For there ain't nothing here now
