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