_ _ They were rough, tough, and as hard as the metal they mined.
_ They worked like slaves and they played like kings.
_ _ [G] They asked no quarter and no quarter did they give.
_ _ They took their whiskey straight and they took it often.
Hey Jack, what the hell?
[C#] We're here today and gone tomorrow. _ _ _ _ _

_ Seven years a miner, nine to seven [Bm] more.
[A] No better man on earth, miles [D] to move [B] and miles to go.
So though the sin that you be, it drops down every day.
[A] No braver man on earth, boys, [D] no matter what [B] they say.
So [A] tell God [Em] and the devil they [B] can [Bm] pray.
But [E] today's not gonna [B] be the day we die.
_ _ _ _ _ I don't wanna see those helmet men come to carry you.
[A] The ground's so cold and hard [D] above they won't even [B] bury you.
So tap, tap, tap her lightly, slag here she goes.
[A] You better take some cover [D] now, hide [B] before she blows.
[A] Get those [Em] bricks and shovels [B] off your [Bm] backs.
[G] Get the rocks [F#m] into the box [B] and down the tracks. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [D] There's workers [B] and there's sinners [D] and niggers [B] on the [A] trench.
They work all day and night, [D] boys, there's [B] only miners well.
They'll chase your valious copper, their walls we'll pick and hatch.
[D] [A] Don't worry if you're digging scared, us miners [B] got your back.
[A] So tell [G] God and the devil [B] they can pray.
[Bm] But today's [F#m] not gonna be [B] the day we die.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] God's on a venture down here, when the devil's out your neck.
Your life hangs in the balance [Em] of this [Bm] fragile human chain.
And when your spirit's waning, fear is your certainty.
[A] Feel the darkness closing, [E] turn up your [B] carbide flame.
[A] And tell [G] God and the devil [B] they can [Bm] pray.
[E] But today's [F#m] not gonna be the [B] day we die.
_ [A] So tell God and the devil [Bm] they can pray.
[G] But today's [F#m] not gonna be the day we die.
