Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam - Miner's Prayer (2) guitar chord

C

When the whistle blows each morning

G7 C

And I walk down in that cold dark mine

C

I say a prayer to my dear savior

G7 C

please let me see that sun shine one more time

Chorus:

F C

when oh when will it be over

F G

When will I lay these burdens down

C

And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

G7 C

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

C

I still grieve for my poor brother

G7 C

and I still hear my dear old mother cry

C

Late that night they came and told her

G7 C

he lost his life down in the van leer mine

Chorus:

F C

when oh when will it be over

F G

When will I lay these burdens down

C

And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

G7

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

C

I have no shame, I feel no sorrow

G7 C

If this earth, not much I own

C

I have the love of my sweet children

G7 C

An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe

F C

when oh when will it be over

F G

When will I lay these burdens down

C

And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

G7 C

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

C

Yeah when I die, dear Lord in heaven

G7 C

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

I have yet to figure out the riffs that follow every second line, but if you

alternate picking the bass strings and strumming the chord it sounds ok.
