CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD


Down in the mines of the Crowsnest Pass
             A augmentedA
It's the men that die in labour
G+G           D MajorD
Sweating coal from the womb of the pit
     A augmentedA         G+G
It's the smell of life they savour
  D MajorD
And in that mine, young man, you'll find
          A augmentedA
A majorA wealth of broken dreams
  G+G            D MajorD
As long and as dark and as black and as wide
    A augmentedA           G+G
As the coal in The Hillcrest seam

CHORUS:
            D MajorD
And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
         G+G           D MajorD
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
         D MajorD           A augmentedA
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
      D MajorD     A augmentedA
'Cause it's one short step
     G+G         D MajorD
You might leave this world behind
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
         G+G           A augmentedA D MajorD
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine


I've heard it whispered in the light of dawn
            A augmentedA
That mountain sometimes moves
G+G           D MajorD
That bodes ill for the morning shift
    A augmentedA           G+G
And you know what you're gonna lose
   D MajorD
Don't go my son where the deep coal runs
                 A augmentedA
Turn your back to the mine on the hill
       G+G             D MajorD
'Cause if the dust and the dark and the gas don't getcha
     A augmentedA          G+G
Then the goons and the bosses will

CHORUS:
            D MajorD
And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
         G+G           D MajorD
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
         G+G           A augmentedA
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
      D MajorD     A augmentedA
'Cause it's one short step
     G+G         D MajorD
You might leave this world behind
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
         G+G           A augmentedA D MajorD
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine


INSTRUMENTAL:


Well son, I'm gonna open up
         A augmentedA
I'm gonna have my say
    G+G           D MajorD
You'll get no peace from the Hillcrest Mine
     A augmentedA         G+G
'Cept the peace of any early grave
D MajorD
Go out and work for the workers' rights
             A augmentedA
Go work for the workers' needs
   G+G         D MajorD
Don't stay down here to toil for your buck
    A augmentedA          G+G
To be a tool for the owner's greed


CHORUS:

And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
         G+G           D MajorD

You might leave this world behind
            A augmentedA

Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine

And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
         G+G           D MajorD
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
         G+G           A augmentedA
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine

You might leave this world behind
            A augmentedA
And they say you don't go
