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