[A]
It was good [E] one time, [D] everything was [A] mighty fine,
And the cold [E] temples roared [A] day and night, The [F#m] things they got [E] slow [D] for no reason that I [A] know,
The winds [E] they hold [A] inside.
Now the mines all [E] closed [D] down, everybody [A] laid around,
And there wasn't [E] very much [A] that you could do, Except stand [E] in the line and get [D] your ration
script [A] on time, Woman [E] I could sleep [A] killing you.
Now the soft new [E] snows of [A] December,
[D] Slightly foamed my [A] cabin around, I saw the last train [F#m] from [D] Poor Valley,
[Bm] [A] Taking Brown and [E] Becky Richmond [A] bound,

I should blame [E] you now, [D] I never could [A] somehow,
For a miner's [E] wife you weren't cut [A] out to be, Guess that it wasn't what you [E] thought,
[D] Just some dreams [A] you bought, When you left [E] home and ran away [A] with me,
And it's been [C#m] coming on, I knew [D] you soon would [A] be gone, Cause leaving [E] crossed your mind [A] every day,
Then you [E] said to me, [D] things are bad back [A] home you see, And I think I'd [E] better be on [A] my way,
Now the soft new snows [E] of [A] December, [D] Slightly foamed my [A]
cabin around,
I saw the last [D] train [A] from [D] Poor Valley, [G] [Bm] Taking [A] Brown and [E] Becky [A] Richmond bound.
