verse 1 
                           C           G 
At the Quecreek mine, nine miners went down 
                            C           G 
Two hundred and forty foot, deep in the ground 
                                  C            G 
The night shift went a mile, when there come a shout 
                            C        G 
"Somebody's hit water, everybody get out" 


verse 2 
                                C          G 
It was over their heads and too fast to outrun 
                                   C      G 
Together they were tied to live or die as one 
                                       C                  G 
Help came from all round, but then the drill stripped and broke 
                                     C             G 
So the men penned goodbyes and wives hoped against hope 


         Em          G 
When the waters come up 
         Em             G 
When you go through the flood 
       Em           G 
In the lord you can trust 
        C             G 
He will be there with us 



verse 3 
                        C           G 
Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground 
                                      C                G 
He was dead, but the third day, god's hand brought him out 
                                 C                G 
And the miners were buried three nights and three days 
                                    C             G 
But like Jesus, Sunday morning, all nine men were raised 

 
         Em          G 
When the waters come up 
         Em             G 
When you go through the flood 
       Em           G 
In the lord you can trust 
        C             G 
He will be there with us
