A Em D
In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Em G A B
Down in the dark of the Cumberland Mine
Em A D G
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
Em A Em D
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky
Em A Em B
Roads that never saw sun nor sky
A Em D
In the town of Springhill, you don't sleep easy
Em G A B
Often the earth will tremble and roll
Em A D G
When the earth is restless, miners die
Em A Em D
Bone and blood is the price of coal.
Em A Em B
Bone and blood is the price of coal.
A Em D
In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Em G A B
Late in the year of fifty eight
Em A D G
The day still comes and the sun still shines
Em A Em D
But it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
Em A Em B
Dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
A Em D
Three days past and the lamps gave out
Em G A B
And Kaela Brushton got up and and said
Em A D G
We have no more water, or light, or bread
Em A Em D
So we'll live on song and hope instead.
Em A Em B
live on song and hope instead
A Em D
Listen for the shouts of the black faced miners
Em G A B
Listen thru the rubble for a rescue team
Em A D G
Three hundred ton of coal and slag
Em A Em D
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
Em A Em B
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
A Em D
Twelve days passed and some were rescued
Em G A B
Leaving the dead to lie alone
Em A D G
Thru all their days they dug their grave
Em A Em D
Two miles of earth for a marking stone
Em A Em B
Two miles of earth for a marking stone
