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