Mining Song Lyrics & Tabs by Bluehorses
Mining Song
guitar chords lyrics
Open up your lungs to dust
We're lambs unto the slaughter
Digging ever deeper, but the only way out is
To work your body 'til it gives
Up to your knees in water
Taking what is given so you're left in the shadows
And they always said it was
But the dream was never yours
Hear the mighty voices sing
Though many souls are broken
We hold our families in our hearts and look to tomorrow
But in the black of shattered hopes
Angry words are spoken
The mountains of my promised land
Fade into the shadows
Angry words are spoken
The mountains of my promised land
Fade into the shadows
And they always said it was,
But the dream was never yours
And they always said it was,
But you know you'll find me
Digging for coal all my life, I'm
Digging for coal all my days
Digging for coal all my life, I'm
Digging for coal all my days
Circles on a siren moon
The pithead wheel announcing
11 yards, 1000 years, a host of men walking
And all the dogs in Aber bark
And all the mogs are singing
All the cogs in bible black
Slip into the shadows
