[C] [Gm] [C] [Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Eb] [Eb]
You
[F] [Eb]
come to my heart and it's [F] damn near dawn.
[Cm] Another shift to miss some of the my friends [F] going on.
[Cm] Hard to imagine working [F] in the mines.
The cold dust [Cm] in your lungs, on your skin and on [F] your mind.
[Ab] Yes, and I've [Gm] listened to the speeches, but it [C] occurred to me politicians [F] don't understand.
[Ab]
Thoughts of isolation, ain't [Am] no sunshine underground.
Well, [F] it's like [Ab] working in a [Cm] graveyard three miles down.
[F]
[Cm] Damn near religion, as old [F] as the mine.
Well, [Eb] things that are [Cm] happened in the business don't [F] change with time.
Work till [Cm] you're exhausted into the [F] space
A history [Cm] of disastrous fears [F] rest on your face
[Ab] Somebody signs a paper, [Gm] everybody thinks it's [C] fine
But taft and hardly [F] done one day in the mind
[Ab] It starts to [Am] stiffen, you hear the cracking sound
[F] It's like working [Ab] in a graveyard three [Cm] miles down
