Verse 1:
Em
Let's go back to the roadshow
               C                 G    B7
Drink with the old crow who cut us down
Em
Blind him, force-feed and remind him
                C
There's nothing quite strong as
B7          Em    E
The suns of the railroad light

Chorus 1:

         Am
Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Em
Deep in the mines of Jericho
         Bm                           Em    E
Where no diamond can save your mortal soul?
         Am
Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Em
Deep in the mines of Jericho
         Bm                            G - Em

Verse 2:

Em
I grant you, lonesome new stories
              C                     G     B7
All these new songs from around the world
Em
I don't care, blinded by dollars
                  C
I chase the white collars
    B7                Em   E
The suns of the other side

Chorus 2:

         Am
Tell me, why did you go into the cold

Where no diamond can save your mortal soul?

Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Em
Deep in the mines of Jericho
         Bm                            G - Em
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?

Verse 3:

Em
So let me free from your prison
               C                       G    B7
Free from your boundaries that hold me back
Em
I walk now, the road to redemption
               C     B7            Em  E
The pathway to enter my peace with God

Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Em
Deep in the mines of Jericho
         Bm                           Em
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?

Verse 4:

         C
Tell me, why did you hide deep in the mines
G
Far from the wrath of the men who tried
             Bm                           Em    E
To fill your endless greed for finery and fame?
C
Tell me, why did you fall into the cold
G
Deep in the mines of Jericho
         Bm                            G - Em
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?
