Chord/Tab song: Hillcrest Mine

CAPO: 4th Fret

INTRO: D A D A D A D A G D A G D

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

CHORUS:
And they say you don't [D]go (say you don't go)
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [D]Mine
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [D]down in the Hillcrest [A]Mine
'Cause it's [D]one short [A]step
You might [G]leave this world be[D]hind
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Min[D]e


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

CHORUS:
And they say you don't [D]go (say you don't go)
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [D]Mine
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Mine
'Cause it's [D]one short [A]step
You might [G]leave this world be[D]hind
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Min[D]e

INSTRUMENTAL:


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

CHORUS:
And they say you don't [D]go (say you don't go)
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [D]Mine
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Mine
'Cause it's [D]one short [A]step
You might [G]leave this world be[D]hind
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Min[D]e

CHORUS:
And they say you don't [D]go (say you don't go)
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [D]Mine
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Mine
'Cause it's [D]one short [A]step
You might [G]leave this world be[D]hind
And they say you don't [A]go
Say you don't go [G]down in the Hillcrest [A]Min[D]e
