Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Way[A] do[D]wn in old
[G]Nova
[D]Scotia,
Boosh
[A]River it seems was the [D]name.
Three
[G]Canadians on an
Easter
[D]Sunday, to the [A]tumbledown
gold mine they [D]came.
They descended the mine [A]for [D]inspection,
never [A]dreaming fate trailed them close [D]by.
While [G]far below, patiently await[D]ing,
En[A]tombed in that mine there to [D]die,
Brave [G]men from all over the
[D]country
[A]Volunteered to give up their [D]lives.
They [G]slaved with unceasing ef[D]fort,
It [A]seemed a death they [D]de fied.
Long days and nights
[A]they had [D]labored,
Turned [A]back when great cave -ins [D]fell.
While [G]far below patiently await[D]ing,
Three [A]men were in one living [D]hell.
Many [G]times turned back
when near [D]rescued,
They [A]seemed always blocking
their [D]way.
With a [G]prayer on their lips
they moved [D]onward,
We must [A]win, we must win, pray [D]we may.
On
Sunday they got [A]their first [D]message,
From the [A]man prisoned far, far below,
[D]Can you [G]help us,
they heard the men [D]calling,
Our suf[A]fering's
God above only [D]know.
Next [G]message fill all hearts with [D]sorrow,
They [A]heard them say one pal is [D]gone.
We are [G]trying our best to hold [D]on, boy,
[A]Do your best, don't make it too [D]long.
At last the great strain [A]was [D]broken,
A [A]miner out of breath brought the [D]news.
We have [G]won the great fight he was [D]calling
At [A]last we have won our way [D]through
That [G]great fight against the dark [D]angel
Was [A]one fighting hard all the [D]way
Still a [G]tragedy came with a [D]rescue
From [A]the tomb of those terrible days
[D]Now friend, this story is [A]end[D]ing
With [A]hardships of many a [D]day
This [G]rescue will go down in [D]history,
About the [A]gold mine down
Moose
River [D]way.
