Original key: Bb
[Intro]
 Am   Em   D   C(x2)
[Verse 1]
The Amcall of the Emore stretched the Dlengths of the Cplains
And Amdrew all the Emmen to the Diron ore Crange
AmAnd from the Emwindows DI would Cwatch
AmThem gain in Emwhite and Dlose in Cblack
[Chorus]
EmHere in the dAmark no need to be Emscared
‘Cause DI will Cbe your guiding Amhand
[Instrumental]
 Am   Em   D   C(x2)
[Verse 2]
AmAnd in the Emshafts when tDhey wouldn’t cCome back
AmCold red Emfaces Ddressed in Cblack
AmTheir dormant Emlips had Dsealed their Cfate
AmWithout a Emwarning they Dknew too Clate
[Chorus]
EmHere in the dAmark no need to be Emscared
‘Cause DI will Cbe your guiding Amhand
[Bridge]
DScorched throats sang funeral songs
And Amasked why they had been Dundone
AmUntil canary like the Dsun came dAmown down down
Into the mines
[Instrumental]
 Am   Em   D   C(x4)
[Verse 3]
AmNow trees and Emleaves grow Dthrough the Cfloors
AmAnd in the Emmines there Drots the Core
AmAnd for tEmhose who Dnever came Cback
AmCanary Emsings for Dthose dressed in Cblack
[Chorus]
EmHere in the dAmark no need to be Emscared
‘Cause DI will Cbe your guiding Amhand

[Intro]

Am Em D C

(x2)

[Verse 1]

Am Em D C

The call of the ore stretched the lengths of the plains

Am Em D C

And drew all the men to the iron ore range

Am Em D C

And from the windows I would watch

Am Em D C

Them gain in white and lose in black

[Chorus]

Em Am Em

Here in the dark no need to be scared

D C Am

‘Cause I will be your guiding hand

[Instrumental]

Am Em D C

(x2)

[Verse 2]

Am Em D C

And in the shafts when they wouldn’t come back

Am Em D C

Cold red faces dressed in black

Am Em D C

Their dormant lips had sealed their fate

Am Em D C

Without a warning they knew too late

[Chorus]

Em Am Em

Here in the dark no need to be scared

D C Am

‘Cause I will be your guiding hand

[Bridge]

Scorched throats sang funeral songs

Am D

And asked why they had been undone

Am D Am

Until canary like the sun came down down down

Into the mines

[Instrumental]

Am Em D C

(x4)

[Verse 3]

Am Em D C

Now trees and leaves grow through the floors

Am Em D C

And in the mines there rots the ore

Am Em D C

And for those who never came back

Am Em D C

Canary sings for those dressed in black

[Chorus]

Em Am Em

Here in the dark no need to be scared

D C Am

‘Cause I will be your guiding hand
