Verse 1:
Bb                 Eb      Bb       Eb
Nothing they could do just sit down there
       Bb           Eb   f     Bb
As the black closed all around them
        Bb    Eb      Bb        Eb
And the water rose so quick and cold
     Bb     Eb       f
An unlikely place to drown


Chorus:
Eb          Bb    f              Bb
Nine in the mine, trapped down below
Eb    Bb    F           Bb
Down! Down! Down in the ground
    Eb                Bb           F                Bb
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye
     Eb         Bb          f       Bb
Take care of my family, I'm buried alive

Verse 2:
     Bb         Eb       Bb    Eb
They held their heads up high
        Bb       Eb      f      Bb
As they strugged hard to breathe
    Bb        Eb      Bb       Eb
And asked the Lord to open his arms
        Bb         Eb     f
For the nine souls he'd receive

Verse 3:
     Bb         Eb       Bb
They lashed themselves together
Eb    Bb        Eb       f     Bb
So in Death all might be found
    Bb           Eb    Bb  Eb
And prayed there for a miracle
     Bb          Eb      f
Some twenty-four stories down
