Last Day In The Mines

G    C


[Verse 1]
C                F               
  For as long as I can remember, 
C                        G7
I've worked down in this pit
C            F                  
  But today, it's all over, for 
C           G7    C
this is the day I quit
C                   F            
  I'm gonna take my sweet little 
         C            G7
Ginny and make her my own
C               F                
  We gonna move down in the 
      C        G7       C
valley and build ourselves a home


[Chorus]
           G7              C
This is my last day in the mines

C#


[Verse 2]
        C#               F#       
Well, I swing that pick, move that
           C#            G#7
 shovel and time goes so slow
C#                       F#      
I can hardly wait for my boss to 
       C#         G#7     C#
tell me that it's time to go
Continues after the ad
C#               F#               
Up at the top, I know my Ginny is 
C#             G#7
waiting patiently
   C#                       F#    
In just a few minutes, I'll be 
                C#       G#7      
there with her and from the mines be
C#
 free


[Chorus]
           G#7             C#
This is my last day in the mines

D


[Verse 3]
D                    G           
  But wait a minute... what's 
        D                   A
that rumble way back in the ground?
D                   G            
  Good Lord, it's a cave-in and 
   D           A            D
the rocks are a-fallin' all around!
        D                          
Now the timbers are breakin' and 
  G                    D     
the rats are runnin' and I can 
       A
hardly see
  D                        G      
Inside my chest, there's a mighty 
               D           A       
burnin' and my strength is leavin' 
D
me


[Chorus]
           A               D
This is my last day in the mines


D#

[Verse 4]
  D#                    G#       
Beneath these rocks and timbers, 
D#                   A#
with my strength all gone
D#                  G#            
My thoughts turn to Ginny, I must 
D#        A#   D#
leave her all alone
  D#                  G#           
I know they'll try to save me, but 
D#                A#
they gonna be too late
    D#               G#           
For over that river, through that 
        D#    A#       D#
valley, I see heaven's gates


[Chorus]
           A#              D#
This is my last day in the mines


[Other]
               A#              D#
Oh, this is my last day in the mines
           A#              D#
This is my last day in the mines
