Dm Dm7/C G A   They should have known that trouble was brewing   Dm Dm7/C Asus4 A   They should have seen what the old men knew   Bb F/A   They should have shut us down   Gm Dm    When the hail fell to the ground   Eb Bb/D C A    From a cloudy sky of baby blue      Three o'clock on a cold, cold morning   The big bell wailed as if on cue.   A woman's scream was heard   And the news came afterwards   "It's a blow out down in Number Two!"      Dm/B F/C   Down in Jericho Kentucky   A/C# Dm   The mines have all caved in   Bb E/G# A C   Down in Jericho   F    Broken hearts don't mend   E7 D#maj7 D    Tear stained eyes of kin   Bb C# F A A/C#   Never ever seen what the future might have been      The hat lamps burned with a flame like lightning   The coal dust blanketed the morning dew.   The young ones looked for kin   And the blind man, he looks grim.   'Cause he sees there's nothing that he can do.      They pumped up the mud and they chunked out water,   They scratched the earth till it turned to sand   And a half mile down below   It's a lost cause the miners know   Meet your maker, boys, the time's at hand.      Down in Jericho, Kentucky   The mines have all caved in   Down in Jericho.   Broken hearts don't mend   Tears stained eyes of kin   Never ever seen   What their future might have been.      The fire boss's hands are clean as a whistle   The fat cat knows he's a company man   But he should have bowed down his head   When they hauled out all the dead   But it's business, boys, start 'em up again.      Down in Jericho, Kentucky   The mines have all caved in   Down in Jericho.   Broken hearts don't mend   Tears stained eyes of kin   Never ever seen   What their future might have been.      Broken hearts don't mend   Tears stained eyes of kin   Never ever seen   What their future might have been.
