Brave Boys

            A
Well it's over the hills and around we go
  E            A
Bound to go, down we go
    A
Digging up the devil in Jellico
   E                  A
Rocking in the weary land
          A
Hang your number on a nail and hold the line
       E               A
It's hard times in the coal mine
        A
Take one last look at that sunshine
      E                  A
And follow them boys on in

[Chorus]
  A     D    A
Brave Boys here, Brave Boys there
 A   D       A           E                   A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land
 A     D        A                            F#m
Gals fill the whiskey jar, kiss your loving man
 A   D     A             E                  A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land

[Verse 2]
        A
Here's to Old Black Pete and Spanish Joe
       E                    A
They sleep five thousand feet below
     A
We laid their bones on a bed of coal
   E                  A
Rocking in the weary land
        A
And the Bog Head Boys they dug for a dollar
          E                              A
'Til the roof caved in you could hear them holler
      A
Went in six feet came out a bit smaller
    E                  A
Rocking in the weary land

[Chorus]
  A     D    A
Brave Boys here, Brave Boys there
 A   D       A           E                   A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land
 A     D        A                            F#m
Gals fill the whiskey jar, kiss your loving man
 A   D     A             E                  A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land

[Verse 3]
         E                       A
So it's goodbye gals we've got to go

Cause a miner's life is all we know
          A
Just to make a little dough way down in a hole
  E                    A
Rocking in the weary land
          A
And it's when we die neath six feet of rubble
        E                       A
You can bury our bones with a pick and a shovel
          A
Tell old King Coal we're a heap worth of trouble
     E                 A   E E7
Rocking in the weary land

[Chorus]
  A     D    A
Brave Boys here, Brave Boys there
 A   D       A           E                   A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land
 A     D        A                            F#m
Gals fill the whiskey jar, kiss your loving man
 A   D     A             E                  A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land
  A D       A              E                A
Hey ho the Brave Boys rocking in the weary land
