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


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