GGentlemen, where have we been?
Can't find the hole where we got iDn
We ain't had no letters since spriD7ng
Gentlemen, where have we beGen?
GAin't going nowhere now
Let this bottle make its rouDnds
And let this liquor settle dD7own
We ain't going nowhere noGw
CHORUS
CDarker than evDer in the miGne
CShine a liDght, shine a liGght
CHoller bDack now, make some noGise
I dCo believe they've traDpped us boGys
GFill the dirt back on the grave
Ain't nothing good here being raDised
Look at the filthy mess we've maD7de
Fill the dirt back on the grGave
GWe cut the fruit, we took the tree
We chiseled all the branches frDee
We took more than we'd ever neD7ed
We cut the fruit, we took the trGee
CHORUS
CDarker than evDer in the miGne
CShine a liDght, shine a liGght
CHoller bDack now, make some noGise
I dCo believe they've traDpped us boGys
GCan't have no one not toe the line
'Round here, it's always 'round midnDight
Can't have no brothers left behiD7nd
Can't have no one not toe the liGne
GThat ain't the cavalry we heard
It's the rain that's crashing on the earDth
Tell our women and our children we ain't huD7rt
And, no, that ain't the cavalry we hGeard
CHORUS
CDarker than evDer in the miGne
CShine a liDght, shine a liGght
CHoller bDack now, make some noGise
I dCo believe they've traDpped us boGys

Chords in this song · guitar

Gentlemen, where have we been?

Can't find the hole where we got in

We ain't had no letters since spring

Gentlemen, where have we been?

Ain't going nowhere now

Let this bottle make its rounds

And let this liquor settle down

We ain't going nowhere now

CHORUS

C D G

Darker than ever in the mine

C D G

Shine a light, shine a light

C D G

Holler back now, make some noise

C D G

I do believe they've trapped us boys

Fill the dirt back on the grave

Ain't nothing good here being raised

Look at the filthy mess we've made

Fill the dirt back on the grave

We cut the fruit, we took the tree

We chiseled all the branches free

We took more than we'd ever need

We cut the fruit, we took the tree

CHORUS

C D G

Darker than ever in the mine

C D G

Shine a light, shine a light

C D G

Holler back now, make some noise

C D G

I do believe they've trapped us boys

Can't have no one not toe the line

'Round here, it's always 'round midnight

Can't have no brothers left behind

Can't have no one not toe the line

That ain't the cavalry we heard

It's the rain that's crashing on the earth

Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt

And, no, that ain't the cavalry we heard

CHORUS

C D G

Darker than ever in the mine

C D G

Shine a light, shine a light

C D G

Holler back now, make some noise

C D G

I do believe they've trapped us boys

[Lots more G]
