verse 1: 
   D 
My daddy was a miner 
          C 
Said that there was nothing finer 
        G            C                D 
Than an Irishman who worked an honest day 

From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine 
     C 
He'd make his way down into the mine 
 G              C     
Along the dusty road he'd travel 


Dm 
Fifteen miles to get there 
C                F 
Fifteen miles to go 
G                  Dm 
Fifteen miles back home again 
G       C         G 
Home to Steamboat Row 


verse 2: 
   D 
He loved to talk about the time 
     C 
That he got hurt down in the mine 
   G               C             D 
He said he'd never go back down again 

But in his heart he knew he would 
   C 
He did the only thing he could 
       G               C     
And he kept on walking down the road 


Dm 
Fifteen miles to get there 
C                F 
Fifteen miles to go 
G                  Dm 
Fifteen miles back home again 
G       C         G 
Home to Steamboat Row 


INTERLUDE: 
Dm 
La la la, laa la-la 
C     F 
La la la 
      G         Dm 
La la la, la la la 
      G   C     G 
La la la, la la la 


verse 3: 
    D 
But when he took to drinking 
   C 
We knew that he was thinking 
         G                 C            D 
That his days were quickly coming to an end 

He'd only speak of Steamboat Row 
   C 
He said someday we'd have to go 
       G              C     
And to walk along the dusty road 

 
Dm 
Fifteen miles to get there 
C                F 
Fifteen miles to go 
G                  Dm 
Fifteen miles back home again 
G       C         G 
Home to Steamboat Row 


verse 4:

          C 
Said that there was nothing finer 
        G            C                D

From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine 
     C 
He'd make his way down into the mine 
 G              C     
Along the dusty road he'd travel 

 
Dm 
Fifteen miles to get there 
C                F 
Fifteen miles to go 
G                  Dm
