Intro: D  A  D  A  D  A  D  A  G  D  A  G  D   


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


D And they say you don't go (say you don't go) G D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine A And they say you don't go D A Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine D A 'Cause it's one short step G D You might leave this world behind A And they say you don't go G A D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
I've heard it whispered in the light of dawn A That mountain sometimes moves G D That bodes ill for the morning shift A G And you know what you're gonna lose D Don't go my son where the deep coal runs A Turn your back to the mine on the hill G D 'Cause if the dust and the dark and the gas don't getcha A G Then the goons and the bosses will
D And they say you don't go (say you don't go) G D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine A And they say you don't go G A Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine D A 'Cause it's one short step G D You might leave this world behind A And they say you don't go G A D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
Instrumental: Well son, I'm gonna open up A I'm gonna have my say G D You'll get no peace from the Hillcrest Mine A G 'Cept the peace of any early grave D Go out and work for the workers' rights A Go work for the workers' needs G D Don't stay down here to toil for your buck A G To be a tool for the owner's greed
D And they say you don't go (say you don't go) G D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine A And they say you don't go G A Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine D A 'Cause it's one short step G D You might leave this world behind A And they say you don't go G A D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine D And they say you don't go (say you don't go) G D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine A And they say you don't go G A Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine D A 'Cause it's one short step G D You might leave this world behind A And they say you don't go G A D Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
