In a johnson county holler
G#m B
where the mining company blooms

He lived in a house with all 5 brothers
G#m B
his dearest sister too

The summer heat was bad as the mug
G#m B
that the humid air did brew
D#m
In the winter the snow just
F# G#m
blows on in through holes in the wall
B
you could throw a dog through

[Verse]
D#m F#
As an able bodied boy
G#m B
he lied about his age
D#m F#
To help his father break away
G#m B
from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
D#m F#
They made him shoot their coal
G#m B
and he was grateful at the time
D#m F#
but there was many a boy who had done
G#m D#m
the same and they never came out alive
[Corus]
D#m F#
Better run coal shooter run
G#m B

D#m F#
When you get to the end of the tunnel
G#m B
just keep on running my friend
D#m F#
Cause this ain't no kind of life
G#m B
that a young man should live
D#m
If you can run faster than
F# G#m D#m
gunpowder burns you might see the light again
[Verse]
D#m F#
Well they were biting down on blasting caps
G#m B
just doing like daddy asked
D#m F#
Even though they knew that the next bite down
G#m B
could surely be their last
D#m F#
Ain't got no time to be scared no
G#m B

D#m F#
They sent him deep into the mine
G#m B
where a boy cant see the light of day
D#m F#
Guided by the lamp
G#m
on his head in the dark
B
He begins to pray
D#m F#
that the fuses were all cut right
G#m B
and that a stray spark don't take light
D#m F#
praise that he won't die in this mine
G#m B F# D#m
He hates the thought of mama crying...

You might see the light again
