[Verse 1]
Cm Cm
In a mining town in West Virginia

In the year of 1910

The boys cut at the heart of the mountain
Cm D# F
They been cuttin' since God knows when

But today's just a little bit different
F D# Cm Cm
Something down there's out of control
Cm
Somebody yells...
[Chorus]
Cm A# G# D# A# F
Fire in the hole (fire)
G# D# A# F
Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire)

Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire)

Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole

And the word spread through the mountain
Cm D# F
The heads turn and children cry

Black smoke porin' out of eleven
Cm D# F
Take over the coal town sky

And the company men are runnin'
F D# Cm Cm
And the screams they make your blood run cold
Cm
They run so cold...
[Chorus]

Fire in the hole (fire)

Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire)

Somebody yellin', fire in the hole (fire)

Somebody yellin', there's a fire in the hole
