Am                                G
You can tell them in the country, tell them in the town
           Dm              C                 Am
The miners down in Mingo laid their shovels down
         Am                    G
We won't pull another pillar, load another ton
    Dm                           C           Am
Or lift another finger till the union we have won



🎸 Chorus:
C               G
Stand up boys, let the bosses know
Dm                      Am
Turn your buckets over, turn your lanterns low
         C                      G
There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul
           Dm                E7          Am
But there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole

🎸 Verse 2:
Am                          G
Oh, daddy died a miner and grandpa, he did too
     Dm                                    C               Am
I'll bet this coal will kill me 'fore my working days is through
       Am                          G
When a hole is dark and dirty, an early grave you'll find
  Dm                           C             Am
I plan to make a union for the ones I leave behind



🎸 Chorus:
C               G
Stand up boys, let the bosses know
Dm                      Am
Turn you buckets over, turn your lanterns low
         C                      G
There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul
           Dm                E7          Am
But there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole
       Dm                E7          Am
There ain't gonna be no fire in the hole
