Miners Prayer

          C
When the whistle blows each morning
      G7                          
And I walk down in that cold dark 
C
mine
        C
I say a prayer to my dear savior
              G7                   
please let me see that sun shine 
       C
one more time


[Chorus]:
F                       C
when oh when will it be over
     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down
           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven
             G7                  
Please take soul from 'neath that 
           C
cold dark ground


[Verse]:
        C
I still grieve for my poor brother

            G7                     
and I still hear my dear old mother
 C
 cry
          C
Late that night they came and told 
her
            G7                  
he lost his life down in the van 
      C
leer mine


[Chorus]:
F                       C
when oh when will it be over
     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down
           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven
            G7
Please take soul from 'neath that 
cold dark ground


[Verse]:
          C
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow
        G7               C
If this earth, not much I own
           C
I have the love of my sweet children
            G7                   C
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe


[Chorus]:
F                       C
when oh when will it be over
     F                        G
When will I lay these burdens down
           C
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven
            G7                   
Please take soul from 'neath that 
            C
cold dark ground

            C
Yeah when I die, dear Lord in heaven
            G7                   
Please take soul from 'neath that 
           C
cold dark ground
