[C] [F] [Cm]
[F] [Cm] [Fm] [C] In the town of Spring Hill, [Bb] Nova Scotia [C] [Cm] down,
In the dark of [F] the [G] Cromer line,
[C] And the haze grown [F] [Bb] cold, [F] and the [G]
mires light,
[C] And [F] old Stan Miller [C]
saw [Bb] some more,
[C] [F] And old Stan [C] Miller saw [Bb] some [G] more sky,
[C] In the town [F]
of [C] Spring Hill, [Bb] in old [C] Sleafishia,
[Cm] And the earth [F] will [G] tremble at [C]
[F] his [Bb] whispers,
[Am] [G]
[Cm] Bold and bold is the [Bb] price I'll [C] go,
[F] Bold and bold [Cm] is [Bb] the price [G]
I'll go,
[C] In the town [F] of [C] Spring Hill, [Bb] Nova [C] Scotia,
And the land [Cm] will hear [F]
our [G] weary air,
[C] Well the [F] day still [Bb] comes, [Am] and the sun [G] still shines,
[Cm] But it's [G] dark as [C] the grave in the [Bb] Cumberland [Cm] mines,
Oh, dark as [C] the grave in the [Gm] Cumberland mines.
[Cm] [F] Down at the [Cm] coal face the [Bb] miners [Cm] working,
Rattle of the [F] bells and the [G]
cutters clang,
[C] Rumble [F] of the [Bb] rock, [Am] and the walls [G] close round,
[C] The [F] living and the [C] dead men two [Bb] miles [C] down,
The living [F]
and the [Cm] dead [Bb] men two [G] miles down,
[C]
Three [F] days passed, [Cm] and the lambs gave out,
[Bb] Our [Cm] foreman rose on his elbow [F] and said,
[Fm] We've no [Cm] water, or [Bb] light, or bread,
[C] For we're living on [F] stones and hope [C] instead,
[Bb] [G]
[Cm] Eight [F] days [Cm] passed, some [Gm] were [Cm] rescued,
[Eb] Leaving the dead [F] to [G] die,
[Cm] To who [F] we [Bb]
[G] took them,
[Cm] Two [F] miles of earth for [Cm] a [Bb] marking stone,
[Cm] [F] Two miles of [Cm] earth for [Bb] a [G] marking stone,
[Cm]
[Dm] [Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
[Bb] Two miles of earth for a marking stone,
Two [Dm] miles of [Cm] earth [Bb] for a [Cm]
marking stone,
[Dm] Two miles of [Cm] [Bb] earth [Cm] for [Bb] a marking stone.
