The Life Of A Miner by Michael Banahan
The Life Of A Miner
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
D G D A D A
[Verse 1]
D G
I think of the life of a miner
D A
Who must work all the day underground
D G
When his lamp light is all that will shine there
D A D A
And it's dark and it's damp all around
D G
It is two or three miles to the coal face
D A
And the tunnel is jagged and low
D G
But he cannot find work on the surface
D A D
So it's down in the mine he must go
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Oh I know he is proud to be a miner
G A D A
And he's proud of the dust on his face
D G
But it takes a brave man to go down there
D A D A
Down in that dark damp place
[Instrumental]
D G D A D G D A D
Bm F#m
Oh I know he is proud to be a miner
G A D A
And he's proud of the dust on his face
D G
But it takes a brave man to go down there
D A D B7
Down in that dark damp place
[Verse 2]
E A
He will tell you he makes better wages
E B7
Which is more than most people can say
E A
But conditions are like the dark ages
E B7 E
With his life or his limbs he might pay
E A
And he prays that his son and his daughter
E B7
Will grow up in a world that's more fine
E A
And he hopes they wil find something better
E B7 E
Than a sentence of a life down in the mine
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
Oh I know he is proud to be a miner
A B7 E B7
And he's proud of the dust on his face
E A
But it takes a brave man to go down there
E B7 E
Down in that dark damp place
A
Yes, it takes a brave man to go down there
E B7 A
Down in that dark damp place
