Verse 1
Am
Come gather round, friends,
G
C
and I'll tell you a tale
Am
A
When the red iron ore
Asus4
A
pits run plenty
Asus2
Am
Now the cardboard -filled windows,
G
C
the old men on the benches
G
Am
D
A
I tell you now, the whole town is empty
Am
In the north end of town,
G
C
my own children have grown
Am
A
I was raised on the other,
Asus2
Asus4
in the wee hours of youth,
G
C
my mother took sick
Am
A
I was brought up by my brother,
Am
and the iron ore poured
G
C
as the years passed the door
Am
The drag lines and the shovels,
they was hummin'
Asus2
G
Till one day my brother,
C
he just failed to come home
Am
Asus4
A
The same as my father before him
Am
Well, a long winter's wait
G
C
from the window I watched
Asus4
A
they could n't have been kinder

An d my schooling was cut

as I quit in the spring

Am
Well, years passed again
G
C
and the givin' was good
A
With the lunch buckets
Asus4
A
filled every season
Asus2
A
Till with three babies born
G
C
the work was cut down
Am
A
And a half a day's shift with no reason
Am
And the shaft was soon shut
G
C
and more work was cut
Am
A
Asus4
And the fire in the air felt frozen,
A
Asus2
A
and then a man comes to speak,
G
C
and he said in one week,
Am
A
he said number eleven was closing,
Am
or they're complaining in east
G
C
that they're paying too high.
Am
A
Asus4
And they say that your ore
A
ain't worth digging,
Asus2
A
G
that it's much cheaper down in
the South American in the town,
C
Am
where the miners worked
A
almost for nothing.
Asus2
Am
So the mining gates locked
G
C
and the red iron rotted.
Am
A
And the rooms,
Asus4
A
smelled heavy from drinking.
Asus2
And the sad, sad song
G
C
made the hour twice as long,
Am
Asus4
A
Am
C
as it waited for the sun to go sinking.

Am
Well, sits by the window
G
and he talks to himself
C
Am
A
An d the si lence of
Asus4
A
tongues was building
Asus2
A
till one morning I awoke
G
C
and I bet it was bedtime.
Am
And I was left all alone
A
with three children
and now the summer is gone
Am
G
and the ground is turning cold.
C
Am
A
The stores, one by one,
they are folding
Asus2
A
And my children will go
G
just as soon as they grow
C
Am
There ain't nothing left here now
to hold me now
