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


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

So the men penned goodbyes and wives
 C             G
 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          
Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the
 G
 ground
He was dead, but the third day, 
      C                G
god's hand brought him out
And the miners were buried three 
C                G
nights and three days
But like Jesus, Sunday morning, all 
C             G
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
