Brave Boys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wel[D]l[G][D][G]
it's over the hills
and around we go
[D]Bound to [G]go, down we go
Digging up the devil in Jellico
Rock[D]ing in the [G]weary land
Hang your number on
a nail and hold the line
It's [D]hard [G]times in the coal mine
Take one last look at that sunshine

[Verse 2]
And follow them boys on in
Brave [C]Boys [G]here, Brave Boys there
Hey [C]ho the [G]Brave Boys [D]rock
ing in the weary [G]land
Gals [C]fill the [G]whiskey jar, kiss your loving [Em]man
[G]Hey ho [C]the Bra[G]ve Boys roc[D]k
ing in the [G]weary land
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[G]Here's to Old Black
Pete and Spanish Joe
They [D]sleep five thousand [G]feet below
We laid their bones on a bed of coal
Rock[D]ing in the weary [G]land
And the Bog Head Boys they
dug for a dollar
'Til the [D]roof caved in you
could [G]hear them holler
Went in six feet came out a bit smaller
[D]Rocking in the weary [G]land
Brave [C]Boys [G]here, Brave

[Verse 4]
Boys there
Hey [C]ho the [G]Brave Boys rocking
in the [D]weary [G]land
Gals [C]fill the [G]whiskey jar, kiss your loving [Em]man
[G]Hey ho [C]the Bra[G]ve Boys roc[D]king
in the weary [G]land
[C]Brave

[Verse 5]
[G][C][D][G]
[Em][G][Em][D][G]
[C]Boys,
[G]hey ho[C][G][D][G]
Brave [C]Boys, [G]hey[Em] ho[G][C][G][D]
[G]So it's goodbye

[Verse 6]
gals we've got to go
Cause a [D]miner's [G]life is all we know
Just to make a little dough way
down in a hole
Rock[D]ing in the weary [G]land
And it's when we die neath
six feet of rubble
You can [D]bury our bones
with a [G]pick and a shovel
Tell old King Coal we're
a heap worth of trouble
[D]Rocking in the [G]weary [D]land

[Verse 7]
[D]
[G]Brave Boy[C]s her[G]e, Brave Boys there
Hey [C]ho the [G]Brave Boys [D]rocking
in the weary [G]land
Gals [C]fill the [G]whiskey jar, kiss your loving [Em]man
[G]Hey ho [C]the Bra[G]ve Boys
[D]rocking in the weary [G]land
Hey [C]ho the [G]Brave Boys rocking in the weary
[C]land
