[Intro]
Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
EmI never grew up in a Ammining town
EmBut I've been down in a Bhole
EmI never cried while Ammy lungs turned black
EmBut I cry for the Bblack of my Emsoul
I stood in fear as the Amwalls caved in
EmTrapped in the darkness Balone
EmI cried for helpAm, no one heard
EmSo I cried for the Bblack of Emmy soul
[Bridge]
AmDown in a hole, Gdown in a hole
EmCrying for the Bblack of Emmy soul
[Verse 2]
EmI've seen the yellow Ambirdie die
EmI heard my poor mother Bmoan
EmI've been below Amthe water line
EmDown in the Bblack of Emmy soul
If love is the shelter in this Amforsaken place
EmWhy am I down in a Bhole?
EmDigging through years of Amblood and mud
EmMining the Bblack of Emmy soul
[Bridge]
AmDown in a hole, Gdown in a hole
EmMining the Bblack of Emmy soul
[Instrumental]
Em Am Em B Em Am Em B Em G Em
[Verse 3]
EmThere is a prayer Amthe miners use
Em"Don't bury me in a Bhole"
EmI'm praying hard Amso I won't be
EmBuried in the Bblack of Emmy soul
I'm praying hard Amso I won't be
EmLost in the Bblack of my Emsoul
[Bridge]
AmDown in a hole, Gdown in a hole
EmLost in the Bblack of my Emsoul
[Bridge]
AmDown in a hole, Gdown in a hole
EmMining the Bblack of Emmy soul
[Outro]
Em Am Em B Em Am Em B Em Am Em B Em Am Em
B Em Am Em B Em Am Em B Em B Em Am Em B Em
