[G] Once there was a [Em] cabin [C] up on cedar [D] hill
[G] It burned down [Em] to the slab [C] but left behind the [D] still
[C] We often [G] go there and light a [D] fire on the [G] floor
to [Em] remember what [Am] life was like be[D7]hind that screen [G] door
[C] We live down the [D] holler now in an [G] old Massey [C] mine
Its [Em] cold and wet and the [D] sun it never [G] shines

[G] I started mining the [Em] Gallaway [C] back in [D] ‘45
[G] at that time when my [Em] Papa [C] he was still a[D]live
[C] He built that [G] cabin out of [D] soft white [G] Pine
[Em] He surveyed the [Am] land and drew the [D7] property [G] line
chorus
[D] When will we [D7] get out of the [G] mine
[D] we have [D7] been here a long [G] time
[Bm] we need to [Em] find the [Am] will to [D] go
[Em] maybe re[D]build after the [G] snow

[G] We lost our [Em] tick hound [C] on that fateful [D] day
[G] We never found his [Em] body Blue just [C] might have run [D] away
But the [C] cold was creeping [G] in now and there’s no [D] chance he sur[G]vived
When [Em] Blue climbed in through the [Am] adit all [D7] hopes were re[G]vived
chorus
[C] We live down the [D] holler now in an [G] old Massey [C] mine
But when [Em] Blue returned [D] the sun began to [G] shine
