[Verse 1]
                           C           G
At the Quecreek mine, nine miners went down
                            C           G
Two hundred and forty foot, deep in the ground
                                  C            G
The night shift went a mile, when there come a shout
                            C        G
"Somebody's hit water, everybody get out"


[Verse 2]
                                C          G
It was over their heads and too fast to outrun
                                   C      G
Together they were tied to live or die as one
                                       C                  G
Help came from all round, but then the drill stripped and broke
                                     C             G
So the men penned goodbyes and wives hoped against hope


[Chorus]
         Em          G
When the waters come up
         Em             G
When you go through the flood
       Em           G
In the lord you can trust
        C             G
He will be there with us


[Verse 3]
                        C           G
Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground
                                      C                G
He was dead, but the third day, god's hand brought him out
                                 C                G
And the miners were buried three nights and three days
                                    C             G
But like Jesus, Sunday morning, all nine men were raised


[Chorus]
         Em          G
When the waters come up
         Em             G
When you go through the flood
       Em           G
In the lord you can trust
        C             G
He will be there with us
