[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]At the Quecreek mine
nine [C]miners [G]went down
Two hundred and forty feet
[C]deep in the [G]ground
The night shift went a mile when
[C]there came a [G]shout
Somebody's hit water
[C]everybody gotta get [G]out

[Verse 2]
[G]
It was over their heads and
too [C]fast to out[G]run
Together they were tied
to live or [C]die as [G]one
Help came from all round but the
[C]drill stripped and [G]broke[C][G]
So the men penned goodbyes and
wives [C]hoped against [G]hope

[Verse 3]
[G]
When the [Em]waters [G]come up
When you [Em]go through th[G]e flood
In [Em]the Lord you can [G]trust
He will [C]be there [G]with us

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
Now [G]Jesus was laid in a [C]hole in the [G]ground
He was dead,
but the third day God's [C]hand brought [G]him out
And the miners were buried
three [C]nights and three [G]days
But like Jesus Sunday morning all [C]nine men were [G]raised
