Tragedy At The Sunshine Mine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]See[E] the[F#] chil[G]dren cryin'
Fearin' [D]their daddy's dyin'
[G]Broken hearts ever were to[A]night
[G]There's sadness in the valley,
children [D]crying for their daddy,
it's as dark in their hearts
as it [A]is down in [D]the mine.
It was on May 2nd, 1972,
it was a day like any other,
that [E]is for me an[A]d you,
but for [D]91 men their futures
they could not see
it was goodbye forever hello [A]eternity
[D]See[G] the children crying,
fearing [D]their daddy's dying,
[G]broken hearts ever were to[A]night.
[G]There's sadness in the valley,
[A]children [D]crying for their daddy.
It's as dark in their hearts
as it [A]is down in [D]the valley.
It was on that fateful mornin'
the foreman gave the cry.
There's fire in the sunshine mine.
Someone [E]is bound to [A]die.
[D]Searchers begin to search.
Tough ones begin to pray.
I guess we never will forget
[A]what happened on that [D]day.
[G]See the children crying,
[D]fearing their daddy's dying.
[G]Broken hearts ever were to[A]night.
There's [G]sadness in the valley,
[D]children cryin' for their daddy,
it's as dark in their hearts
as it [A]is down in [D]the mine.
Death stalked the sunshine man,
like a si[G]lent killer he found his prey.
[D]Men never knew what happened
on [A]that fateful day.
As [D]the poison gas took its toll,
[G]loved ones' hearts were filled with fear.
[D]For nine long days they waited [A]for
news they would never hear.
[D]Then as suddenly as it began it end[G]ed.
Then came the news [D]we
all did dread.
The fore[A]man said it's all over now.
You loved ones can [D]go on home.
There's two survivors, 91 [D]dead.[G][D]
[G]See the children cryin'
Bearin' [D]their daddy's dodgin'
[G]Broken hearts ever were To[A]night
There's [G]sadness in the valley
Children [D]cryin' father, daddy
It's as dark in their hearts
As it [A]is down in [D]the mine
