Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
A
G
I'm
just a miner in a mining town. I
D
G
dig like a mole in a hole in the ground.
C
When the sun comes up till the sun goes down,
Dm
D
G
I don't see much sun when I'm down in the ground.
D
Soft coal and hard coal and lead and zinc
C
D
G
and all other kinds of hard stuff.
D
G
It's a hard livin'.
Got up this mornin' in the same ol' way,
D
G
Drunk my hot coffee to start off my day.
My wife gimme breakfast in
her stockin' feet,
And I kissed the kids in
A
G
bed, and then I walked
down the street.
C
Just walkin' along, watchin' the sun come up, I
D
A
was just thinkin' and wonderin'.
D
G
Wonderin' and thinkin'.
Centralia here is a pretty little town.
D
G
Illinois for miles around.
C
Can't see too good with my eyes full of sleep
D
though. I'm gonna quit mining some
G
day and I'm gonna sleep about a week.
D
Hard down, hard up, good
Dream myself up a lot of pretty dreams
C
about pretty mine holes
and pretty mine bosses and
pretty mine owners
Am
D
G
and pretty women all over the place.
Most men don't talk what's
about different ways of dying down
But every morning we walk
along and joke
C
about the mines caving in,
G
the dust and the smoke.
One little wild spark of fire
D
G
blowin' us sky high and crooked.
One little spark blowin' us
Up to shake hands with all the
G
C
D
Lord's little angels.
C
gate and stand and laugh,
D
An elevator man drops us down his shaft,
and crawl different places
D
With fumes in our eyes and
dust on our faces,
Dm
D
Aches an d pains and rheumatism,
Bb
All kinds of crazy pictures fly ing
Dm
G
C
D
through our heads.
G
C
Well, this spark did hit us in the number five,
A
G
I don't know if anybody ever did come out alive.
I got carried out with a busted head,
D
G
the lady said there's a hundred and eleven of us dead.
C
Well, this ain't my first explosion,
G
D
Dm
G
I come through two cave -ins an d two more fires before this.
Twenty -two dead down in
C
D
G
Ohio and thirty -six I seen in
Kentucky later.
And there's a hundred and eleven here in
Sun
Trail.
C
Well, it seems like the very best men go down,
D
G
they don't come back in these mining towns.
Keep on a -wondering how things would be
D
if a cave -in had come to the
C
Or a big explosion of some kind was
D
to go off up there in them
Wonder what sort of words and messages that
D
G
they'd write on their slates.
Wonder if they'd hire anybody
to come down to them
G
and put in some safety devices,
nine hundred dollars worth.
I think it's just about enough
D
loose gas
around that
Capitol
Dome up there, though,
to make a mighty big
blow if a spark ever hits it just right.
