Buried Alive Lyrics

Tabber: clark@theoddmenout.com
Intro:
Riff 1: x3 x1
G------7h8----8-8-8-8--|--7-7-8-7-7--|
Verse 1:
Nothing they could do just sit down there
As the black closed all around them
And the water rose so quick and cold
An unlikely place to drown
Chorus:
Nine in the mine, trapped down below
Down! Down! Down in the ground
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye
Take care of my family, I'm buried alive
Verse 2:
They held their heads up high
As they strugged hard to breathe
And asked the Lord to open his arms
For the nine souls he'd receive
Solo:
Verse 3:
They lashed themselves together
So in Death all might be found
And prayed there for a miracle
Some twenty-four stories down
Bagpipe Lead:
B---------15--13-----13h15-13----15----------15--13-----13h15-13--------|
("Down, Down, Down in the ground...")
