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