Band - The Caves Of Jericho Lyrics
Dm dm7/c g aThey should have known that trouble was brewingDm dm7/c asus4 aThey should have seen what the old men knewBb f/aThey should have shut us downGm dmWhen the hail fell to the groundEb bb/d c aFrom a cloudy sky of baby blueThree oclock on a cold, cold morningThe big bell wailed as if on cue.A womans scream was heardAnd the news came afterwardsIts a blow out down in number two!Dm/b f/cDown in jericho kentuckyA/c# dmThe mines have all caved inBb e/g# a cDown in jerichoFBroken hearts dont mendE7 d#maj7 dTear stained eyes of kinBb c# f a a/c#Never ever seen what the future might have beenThe hat lamps burned with a flame like lightningThe coal dust blanketed the morning dew.The young ones looked for kinAnd the blind man, he looks grim.cause he sees theres nothing that he can do.They pumped up the mud and they chunked out water,They scratched the earth till it turned to sandAnd a half mile down belowIts a lost cause the miners knowMeet your maker, boys, the times at hand.Down in jericho, kentuckyThe mines have all caved inDown in jericho.Broken hearts dont mendTears stained eyes of kinNever ever seenWhat their future might have been.The fire bosss hands are clean as a whistleThe fat cat knows hes a company manBut he should have bowed down his headWhen they hauled out all the deadBut its business, boys, start em up again.Down in jericho, kentuckyThe mines have all caved inDown in jericho.Broken hearts dont mendTears stained eyes of kinNever ever seenWhat their future might have been.Broken hearts dont mendTears stained eyes of kinNever ever seenWhat their future might have been.
