	  		Verse 1:
Em                                                     
Basically we are all alone in the centre  
              G 
Of a pickaxe mine 
Em 
Black lung stings as the pickaxe swings 
Em 
As the void of the mine closes in 
Em 
The Devil Came and the Angels sang 
Em                 E 
A Song of the Holy Ghost 
Em 
Tempted the soul from the pennies to the gold 
Em 
Like the dust I spit from my mouth 
  

Em   G    Em 
Wooo oooo oooo  

  
Verse 2:
Em 
Remember the night with the barroom fight 
Em                             E 
Where I killed all of my best friends 
Em 
We gambled it away with the whiskey open keg 

And we never saw it again 

Well I had a wife that I met back in High school 
                   G 
Her name was Lyla-Jean 
Em 
We saved away to escape some place 

On a local miner's minor pay 
  

Em   G    Em 
Wooo oooo oooo  

  
Verse 3:
Em 
We saved so long the fall came and gone 
Em          G 
At Least 27 times 
Em 
It fell through the floorboards  

Into deep dark darkness 

And we never saw it again 

West Virginia's home and that's  

Where we're staying 
 Em                        G 
To the blade of the bible hymn 
Em 
Jesus says we're wicked so we just keep on pickin' 
                            A 
At the scab of the open mine 
  

Em   G    Em 
Wooo oooo oooo
