[Verse 1]
G#m Cb C#m Fb
In Johnson county holler where the minin' comp'ny bloomed
G#m Cb C#m Fb
He lived in a house with all five brothers, his dearest sisters too
G#m Cb C#m Fb
The summer heat was as bad as the mud that the human air did brew
G#m Cb C#m Fb G#m
In the winter the snow just blowed on in through holes in the wall you could throw a dog through
G#m G#m
[Verse 2]
G#m Cb C#m Fb
As an able-bodied boy he lied about his age
G#m Cb C#m Fb
To help his father break away from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
G#m Cb C#m Fb
They made him shoot their coal and he was grateful at the time
G#m Cb C#m Fb G#m
There was many a boy that'd done the same and they'd never come out alive
G#m
[Chorus]
G#m Cb
Better run coalshooter run
C#m Fb
Run away as fast as you can
G#m Cb C#m Fb
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
G#m Cb C#m Fb
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
G#m Cb C#m Fb
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again

Well they were bitin' down on blasting caps just doing like daddy asked
G#m Cb C#m Fb
Even though they knew that the next bite down could surely be their last

You ain't got no time to be scared no, with dynamite in your hands

Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up, son you're as good as dead

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
G#m Cb C#m Fb
They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
G#m Cb C#m Fb
Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
G#m Cb C#m Fb C#m
To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
Cb C#m Fb
And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
G#m Cb C#m Fb
Mama cries
[Chorus]
G#m Cb
Better run coalshooter run
C#m Fb
Run away as fast as you can
G#m Cb C#m Fb
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
G#m Cb C#m Fb
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
G#m Cb C#m Fb
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
