Dwight Yoakam – Miners Prayer (Guitar)

          C
When the whistle blows each morning

      G7                          C
And I walk down in that cold dark mine

        C
I say a prayer to my dear savior

              G7                          C
Please let me see that sun shine one more time

F                       C
When oh when will it be over

     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down

           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

             G7                             C
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

        C
I still grieve for my poor brother

            G7                      C
and I still hear my dear old mother cry

          C 
Late that night they came and told her

            G7                        C
he lost his life down in the Van Leer Mine

F                       C
When oh when will it be over

     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down

           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

            G7
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

          C
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow

        G7               C  
If this earth, not much I own

           C 
I have the love of my sweet children

            G7                   C
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe

F                       C
When oh when will it be over

     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down

           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

            G7                               C
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

             C
Yeah, when I die, dear Lord in heaven

            G7                              C
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
