A#m
[Verse 1]
A#m Db D#m Gb
In Johnson county holler where the minin' comp'ny bloomed
A#m Db D#m Gb
He lived in a house with all five brothers, his dearest sisters too
A#m Db D#m Gb
The summer heat was as bad as the mud that the human air did brew
A#m Db D#m Gb A#m
In the winter the snow just blowed on in through holes in the wall you could throw a dog through
A#m A#m
[Verse 2]
A#m Db D#m Gb
As an able-bodied boy he lied about his age
A#m Db D#m Gb
To help his father break away from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
A#m Db D#m Gb
They made him shoot their coal and he was grateful at the time
A#m Db D#m Gb A#m
There was many a boy that'd done the same and they'd never come out alive
A#m
[Chorus]
A#m Db
Better run coalshooter run
D#m Gb
Run away as fast as you can
A#m Db D#m Gb
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
A#m Db D#m Gb
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
A#m Db D#m Gb
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
A#m
[Verse 3]
A#m Db D#m Gb
Well they were bitin' down on blasting caps just doing like daddy asked
A#m Db D#m Gb
Even though they knew that the next bite down could surely be their last
A#m Db D#m Gb
You ain't got no time to be scared no, with dynamite in your hands
A#m Db D#m Gb
Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up, son you're as good as dead
A#m
[Chorus]
A#m Db
Better run coalshooter run
D#m Gb
Run away as fast as you can
A#m Db D#m Gb
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
A#m Db D#m Gb
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
A#m Db D#m Gb
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
[Bridge]
A#m Db D#m Gb x4
A#m
[Verse 4]
A#m Db D#m Gb
They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
A#m Db D#m Gb
Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
A#m Db D#m Gb D#m
To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
Db D#m Gb
And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
A#m Db D#m Gb
Mama cries
[Chorus]
A#m Db
Better run coalshooter run
D#m Gb
Run away as fast as you can
A#m Db D#m Gb
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
A#m Db D#m Gb
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
A#m Db D#m Gb
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
