G C G
Here in Harlan County, the choices are Few
G Em D C
To keep food on the table and the babies in shoes
G C G
You can grow marijuana way back in the pines
G Em D C
Or work for the man down in the mine
G C G
You never forget your first day in the hole
G Em D C
There's a pit in your stomach and your mouth's full of coal
G C G
There's no turning back once you make up your mind
G Em D C
As the cart rattles on down in the mine
Chorus:
C D Em
Way down in the mine, your tears turn to mud
C G
And you can't catch your breath for the dust in your lungs
D Em C
Loading hillbilly gold where the sun never shines
C G C G
Twelve hours a day, diggin' your grave
D G
Way down in the mine
G C G
Well the old timers talk but you just don't believe
G Em D C
It can all Go to hell at two thousand feet
G C G
Life sways in the balance of nature and time
G Em D C
And fate has no mercy down in the mine
G C G
The news spreads like fire and burned through those hills
G Em D C
Hopes were held high but five men got killed
G C G
On the wings of canaries, your soul surely flies
G Em D C
While your bones spend eternity down in the mine
Chorus:
C D Em
Way down in the mine, your tears turn to mud
C G
And you can't catch your breath for the dust in your lungs
D Em C
Loading hillbilly gold where the sun never shines
C G C G
Twelve hours a day, diggin' your grave
D G
Way down in the mine
G C G
So take a flask from your crib can can and a pull of moonshine
G Em D C
And say a prayer for them boys down in the mine
