Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) I'm just a
miner in a (G major) mining town
and I (A major) work like a mole in
a hole in the ground.
The (D major) sun comes up and the (G major) sun goes down,
I (A major) don't see (E major) much sun in my (A major) mining town.
Hard (D major) rock, lead, (G major) soft coal,
(A major) zinc,
and all kinds of hard stuff. (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
I got up this morning in my (G major) same old way,
and I (A major) had a cup of coffee to
start off my day,
and I kissed my wife (D major) goodbye on
her (G major) stocking feet,
and I (A major) went outside walking
(E major) down the (A major) street,
walk (D major) in' and a thinkin',
(B minor) think (G major) in' and a walkin'. (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
Centralia here is a (G major) pretty little town,
you (A major) can see Illinois for miles around,
but (D major) I can't see too far (G major) workin' down
in the hole in the (A major) ground. (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
This blast, it hit us (G major) number five,
I (A major) don't know how many come out alive,
It (D major) hauled me out with a (G major) busted head,
the (A major) lady said a hundred and
eleven was dead. (D major)
Well, I'm (G major) a -wondering,
if a (A major) blast was ever to come to a senator's seat,
If a splosion was ever to rock old Congress halls,
would they put in (D major) any safety devices?
I think there's just about
enough loose (G major) gas
floatin' around that Capitol dome
to make a mighty big blow
(A major) if a spark was ever to hit it. (D major)
