To help his father break away

They made him shoot their coal

and he was grateful at the time

but there was many a boy who had done
Em Bm
the same and they never came out alive
[Corus]

Em G
that a young man should live
Bm
If you can run faster than
D Em Bm
gunpowder burns you might see the light again

Well they were biting down on blasting caps

They sent him deep into the mine
Em G
where a boy cant see the light of day

Em G D Bm
He hates the thought of mama crying...
