[Intro]

D Am D
[Verse 1]
D C
I remember the ways, in the bygone days
D Am D
When we were in our prime
D C
When us and John L give the old man hell
D Am D
Way down in the Blue Diamond Mines
[Verse 2]
C
Well, no whistle blows, for the rooster crows
D G Am
About two hours for daylight
C
When a man did his best and he earned his good rest
D Am D
And had seventeen dollars at night
[Chorus]
C D G
In the mines in the mines, In the Blue Diamond Mines
D Am D
I have worked my life away

In the mines in the mines, In the Blue Diamond Mines

Fall on your knees and pray

C
You old black gold, you have taken my soul
D Am D
And your dust has darkened my door
C
And now I am old, and you have turned your back
D Am D
Where else can an poor miner go
[Verse 4]
C
Well, come on downtown, Boys, let's hang around
D G Am
Well, maybe it ain't so bad
C
But, you go back home, and they meet you at the door
D Am D
Saying what have you brought me back Dad?
[Chorus]
C D G
In the mines in the mines, In the Blue Diamond Mines
D Am D
I have worked my life away
C D G
In the mines in the mines, In the Blue Diamond Mines
D Am D
Fall on my knees and pray
D Am
Fall on your knees and pray
[Outro]
