G                     C                G             C
A little girl woke up deep in the dark and started cryin' 
     D                          C                  G
The mother brought a light and held her daughter tight 
 G                     C                 G              C
She thought it was so strange to hear a little girl of nine 
          D                        C               G
Cry call Daddy from the mine call Daddy from the mine 

[Verse]
    G                 C                  G                  C
Her mother wiped the tears and said see honey you're only dreaming 
      D                      C               G
Your dad must work today he has to draw his pay 
     G                 C                    G              C
She left her then but still could hear her cry time after time 
      D                        C              G
Call Daddy from the mine call Daddy from the mine 

[Verse]
          G               C           G          C
Then the countryside was shaken by a mighty rumble 
     D                             C                G
And fear for miles around was the trembling of the ground 
 G                   C               G                  C
The little girl was fast asleep yet cried out one more time 
     D                        C               G
Call Daddy from the mine call Daddy from the mine 

[Verse]
G                       C                   G               C
Ten thousand tears and two weeks later deep in the smoking ground 
   D                       C                   G
A dying man was found had survived all those around 
 G                         C                G              C
He'd quickly crawled to a fresh air pocket barely just in time 
         D                              C              G
When he heard his own child whine call Daddy from the mine 
     D                        C                G
Call Daddy from the mine call Daddy from the mine
