[INTRO]

Em
Am  C  Em


[VERSE 1]

Em              Am
  Spotlight down, wander downtown
         C                Em
Feelin' weary and mighty weak
Em             Am                      C
  Seein' ghosts out on the hills, semaphore
                 Em
Or just opium's will?
D               Am
  No explanation makes much sense,
D               Am
  Newsprint lies and false pretense
            Bm                  C
We'll read about it all in the mornin'
         Em
When we arise


[VERSE 2]

Em           Am
  Blood found by the number 4 mine
              C                  Em
You know she caved in back in '49.
Em                       Am
  At quittin' time only souls would arise
           C                     Em
From that deep, dark anthracite mine.
D                        Am
  The company explanation made no sense
D                          Am
  Just propaganda through a rose colored lense
           Bm                 C
And we'll hear it all on the radio
         Em
When we arise


[CHORUS]

G                           D
  With teeth like tombstones and arms like graves
G                          D
  There's no escapin' the tongues sharp blade
      C         Bm                Em
Or a slow ride upon your head of steam
   C          Bm               Em
A slow ride upon your head of steam


[VERSE 3]

Em             Am
  Paul Sizemore and Eldridge Ray
           C                        Em
dug their own graves and there they lay
Em
  But their souls and axes
Am                                      C
  wander through my sleep and from this valley,
              Em
revenge they seek


[CHORUS]

G                           D
  With teeth like tombstones and arms like graves
G                          D
  There's no escapin' the tongues sharp blade
      C         Bm                Em
Or a slow ride upon your head of steam
   C          Bm               Em
A slow ride upon your head of steam


   C         Bm                Em
A slow ride upon your head of steam
