[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][D][G][C][G][C][G][C][D]
[G]Nothing they cou[C]ld do

[Verse 1]
but sit [G]down [C]there with the black [G]coal all [C]around [D]the[G]m,
And the water [C]rose so quick [G]and [C]cold,
an un[G]likely place [C]to [D]drown.
Nine [C]in [G]the mine, [D]trapped down

[Verse 2]
be[G]low
[C]Down, [G]down, [D]down in [G]the ground
[C]And this'll be the day [G]I didn't [D]kiss my wife goodbye,
[G]take care [C]of my [G]family [D]I'm buried [G]alive

[Verse 3]
They held their [C]heads up [G]high [C]as
[G]they struggled hard [C]to [D]breath
[G]And asked the lor[C]d to open his[G] arm[C]s
for the nine [G]souls [C]he'd re[D]ceive
Nine [G]in the mine, trapped

[Verse 4]
[D]down [G]below
[C]Down, [G]down, down [D]in [G]the ground
[C]And this'll be the [G]day I didn't kiss [D]my wife [G]goodbye,
take care [C]of my fam[G]ily I'm [D]buried [G]alive

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D]
[G]They latched themselves

[Verse 5]
[C]togeth[G]er
[C]so in death [G]they might [C]be [D]found
[G]And prayed there [C]for mir[G]acle [C]some
twenty- [G]four stor[C]ies [D]down
Nine [G]in the mine, trapped

[Verse 6]
[D]down [G]below
[C]Down, [G]down, down [D]in [G]the ground
[C]And this'll be the day [G]I didn't [D]kiss my wife [G]goodbye,
take care [C]of my fam[G]ily I'm bur[D]ied [G]alive[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]Down, [G]down, down [D]in the [G]ground
