Song title: Band - The Caves Of Jericho

Edit By: 216.73.216.251

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 oclock on a cold, cold morning
The big bell wailed as if on cue.
A womans scream was heard
And the news came afterwards
Its 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 dont 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 theres 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
Its a lost cause the miners know
Meet your maker, boys, the times at hand.

Down in jericho, kentucky
The mines have all caved in
Down in jericho.
Broken hearts dont mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been.

The fire bosss hands are clean as a whistle
The fat cat knows hes a company man
But he should have bowed down his head
When they hauled out all the dead
But its business, boys, start em up again.

Down in jericho, kentucky
The mines have all caved in
Down in jericho.
Broken hearts dont mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been.

Broken hearts dont mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been.
