Springfield Mountain Coal Miner

INTRO: G  D  Em  C  G  D  G

                 C          
My brother was a Springfield 
          G
Mountain coal miner
                            C    
He had three young children and a 
         D
darling wife
    C                              
But last night there was a rumble 
      G
on the mountain
                        D       
Shaft number three came down and 
          Em    C
took his life
      G                 D      
Shaft number three came down and 
           G
took his life


              C                
Thirty miners died down in that 
 G
cave-in
                     C          
Thirteen times we've brought the 
        D
wagons down
        C                     
There's twenty graves we'll be 
                G
digging in the churchyard
                D        
Ten more in the mountains 
      Em     C
underground
G               D      
Ten more in the mountains 
        G       G7
underground


CHORUS:
    C         G        D         
Lay down dear brother, Daddy's 
             G
gonna take you home

 home
                    Em     C  G  
Where the cold wind blows

                    C           
And my sister was a coal miner's 
 G
daughter
               C            D
My daddy was a coal miner's son
   C                               
My family's lived and died on this 
G
mountain
                             D  
Down in the ground where the sun 
            Em    C
don't ever come
     G                       D 
Down in the ground where the sun 
             G
don't ever come


                      C            
One more year I'll be ready for the
 G
 coal mine
                  C             D
One more year and I'll be going down
    C                              
But every night when I pass by that
 G
 mountain
                D            Em   
I cry to see my brother 
  C
underground
       G             D     
Yes, I cry to see my brother 
       G
underground

    C         G        D         
Lay down dear brother, Daddy's 
             G

C               G           D

 home
                    Em    C
Where the cold wind blows
