...BLOOD ON THE COAL... by The Folksmen -----------------------................ *from 'A Mighty Wind Original Soundtrack' (2003)* Intro: Dm Verse 1: Dm It was April 27, C C/B In the year of 91, Am Bout a mile below the surface, Dm And the warm kentucky sun. Dm The late shift was ending, C C/B And the early shift was late, Am The foreman ate his dinner, Dm From a dirty tin plate. Chorus 1: Dm Blood on the tracks, C C/B Blood in the mine, Am Brothers and sisters, Dm What a terrible time. C C/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, Am Now in mine number 60, Dm There's blood on the coal, Blood on the coal, C C/B Am Blood on the coal. Verse 2: Dm The slag pits were steamin', C C/B It was 7:25, Am Every miner worked the coal face, Dm Every one of them alive. Dm The train came round the corner, C C/B You could hear the tressel groan, Am But the switcher wasn't listnin', Dm So he left the switch alone! Chorus 2: Dm Blood on the tracks, C C/B Blood in the mine, Am Brothers and sisters, Dm What a terrible time. C C/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, Am Now in mine number 60, Dm There's blood on the coal, Blood on the coal, C C/B Am Blood on the coal. Verse 3: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/misc-soundtrack/63550.html ] Dm Well the walls began to tremble, C C/B And the men began to yell, Am They could hear that lonesome whistle, Dm Like an echo out of...well. Dm They dropped their picks and shovels, C C/B As to safety they did run, Am For to stay among the living, Dm In the year of ninety-one. Chorus 3: Dm Blood on the tracks, C C/B Blood in the mine, Am Brothers and sisters, Dm What a terrible time. C C/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, Am Now in mine number 60, Dm There's blood on the coal, Blood on the coal, C C/B Am Blood on the coal. Verse 4: Dm An Irishman named Murphy, C C/B Said "I'll stop that iron horse!" Am And he stood to athwart it's passage, Dm And it crushed him dead of course. Dm And I hope he hears the irony, C C/B When e're this tale is told, Am The train that took his life, Dm Was burning good Kentucky coal. (Hey!) Chorus 4: Dm Blood on the tracks, C C/B Blood in the mine, Am Brothers and sisters, Dm What a terrible time. C C/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, Am Now in mine number 60, Dm There's blood on the coal, Blood on the coal, C C/B Am Blood on the coal.
