Verse
A#m G# A#m G#
In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia,
A#m C# A#m
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine,
C# G# Fm
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
A#m G# A#m G#
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky,
A#m G# A#m F7
Roads that never saw sun nor sky.
[Verse 2]
A#m G# A#m G#
In the town of Springhill you don't sleep easy,
A#m C# A#m
Often the Earth will tremble and roll;
C# G# Fm
When the Earth is restless, miners die;
A#m G# A#m
Bone and blood is the price of coal,
A#m G# A#m F7
Bone and blood is the price of coal.
[Verse 3]
A#m G# A#m G#
In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia,
A#m C# A#m
Late in the year of '58,
C# G# Fm
Day still comes and the Sun still shines,
A#m G# A#m G#
But it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine,
A#m G# A#m F7
Dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
[Verse 4]
A#m G# A#m G#
Down at the coal-face, miners working,
A#m C# A#m
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade;
C# G# Fm
Rumble of rock, and the walls close 'round:
A#m G# A#m G#
The living and the dead men two miles down,
A#m G# A#m F7
Living and the dead men two miles down.
[Verse 5]
A#m G# A#m G#
Twelve men lay two miles from the pit-shaft;
A#m C# A#m
Twelve men lay in the dark and sang.
C# G# Fm
Long hot days in the miners tomb:
A#m G# A#m G#
It was three feet high and a hundred long,
A#m G# A#m F7
Three feet high and a hundred long.
[Verse 6]
A#m G# A#m G#
Three days passed and the lamps gave out,
A#m C# A#m
And Kaehler Brushen, he up and said,
C# G# Fm
"There's no more water, nor light, nor bread,
A#m G# A#m G#
So we'll live on songs and hope instead,
A#m G# A#m F7
Live on songs and hope instead."
[Verse 7]
A#m G# A#m G#
Listen for the shouts of the bare-faced miners,
A#m C# A#m
Listen through the rubble for a rescue team;
C# G# Fm
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
A#m G# A#m G#
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam,
A#m G# A#m F7
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
[Verse 8]
A#m G# A#m G#
Eight days passed and some were rescued,
A#m C# A#m
Leaving the dead to lie alone
C# G# Fm
Through all their lives they dug a grave:
A#m G# A#m G#
Two miles of earth for a marking stone,
A#m G# A#m F7
Two miles of earth for a marking stone.
