Hard Rock Mine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Rocky Joe was a friend of min[Em]e
And we [G]sweat and toil in a hard rock [A]mine
[D]Joe liked a drill
[G]where the rock was hard
[Em]An d he'd ne[A]ver, never let up
[D]till the round was [G]fired
[C]He [G]said the[D] roc[G]k is hard
and the [C]air is [G]bad
But I'm a miner just [A]like my dad
[D]Well, the ste[G]el is hard and
I'm a [C]-feelin' fine
[G]I'm a -gonna drill my [Em]way [A]down
through this [D]hard rock of [G]mine[C][G]
Then Joe loaded the hose
with the [Em]dynamite
But the [G]fuse was [A]wet,
he couldn't make it [D]light
I heard the [G]thunder roar
and the [Em]boulders fall
And [G]through the smoke and [Em]dust,
Lord, [G]I could h[D]ear Joe c[G]all
[C]He [G]said the[D] roc[G]k is hard
and the [C]ash hair is [G]bad,
but I'm a miner just [A]like my [D]dad
When the [G]steel is hard
and I'm a [C]-feelin' [G]fine
I'm [D]a -[G]gonna drill my w[Em]ay
[A]down
[D]through this hard rock [G]mine[C][G]
[Em]Now [D]I'm old [G]and I can't see[Em]
For the [G]blast that took
Joe's life has blinded [A]me
[D]But I can [G]hear the steel
against the [Em]wall
And through [A]the lonely [D]night[A]
[D]I can h[G]ear Joe call
[C]He said the[D] roc[G]k is hard
and the [C]air is [G]bad
But I'm a miner just [D]like [A]my dad
[D]When the ste[G]el is hard
and I'm a [C]-feelin' [G]fine
I'm a -gonna drill my [Em]way
[A]Down [C]through [G]this [D]hard rock [G]mine
I'm a -gonna drill my [Em]way
[G]Down through [C]this [D]hard
rock [G]mine[C][G]
you
