[Intro 1]
[A][G][C]

[Verse 1]
For as long as [F]I can remember
[C]I've worked down in this [G]pit
[C]But today it'[F]s all over for
[C]this is the day I quit
I'm gonna take my [F]sweet little Ginny
[C]and make [Cm]her my [G]own
[Cm]We gonna m[C]ove do[F]wn in the
valley and [C]built ourselves a home
This is the [G]last day in the [C]mines
[C#][ guitar ]
Well I swing that pick [F#]move that shovel
and [Db]time [Dbm]goes so s[E]low[Ab]
I can [Db]hardly wait for my [Gb]boss to tell
[Db]me that it's time to g[Db]o
Up at the top I [Gb]know my
Ginny is [Db]waiting patiently
[Ab]In just [Db]a few minutes I'll be th[Gb]ere with
her an[Db]d from the min[Ab]es be fr[Db]ee
This is the [Ab]last day in the [Db]mines
[D][ guitar ]
But wait [G]a minute [C]what's that rumble
[D]way back in the gro[A]und[D]
Good Lord [G]it's a cave in and the
[D]rocks are a fallin' all around
Now the timbers are breakin' and the [G]rats
are runnin' [D]and I can [A]hardly [D]see[A]
Inside my chest [D]there's a [G]mighty burnin'
and my [D]strength is leavin' me
This is the [A]last day in the [D]mines
[Eb][ guitar ]
Beneath these rocks and [Ab]timbers
and [Eb]with my strength all [Bb]gone
[Eb]My thoughts turn to Gi[Ab]nny I
must [Eb]leave her all [Bb]alone[Eb]
I know they'll try [Ab]to save me but
[Eb]they gonna be too [Bb]late
[Eb]For over that river [Ab]through that
valley [Eb]I see hea[Bb]ven's ga[Eb]tes
This is the [Bb]last day in [Eb]the mines
Oh this is the [Bb]last day in the [Eb]mines
this is the last day in the mines
