G
Gentlemen, where have we been?
                                  D
Can't find the hole where we got in
                                  D7
We ain't had no letters since spring
                           G
Gentlemen, where have we been?

G
Ain't going nowhere now
                            D
Let this bottle make its rounds
                            D7
And let this liquor settle down
                         G
We ain't going nowhere now

CHORUS
C             D           G
Darker than ever in the mine
C         D              G    
Shine a light, shine a light
C       D                    G
Holler back now, make some noise
   C                    D         G
I do believe they've trapped us boys

G                              
Fill the dirt back on the grave
                                D
Ain't nothing good here being raised
                                D7
Look at the filthy mess we've made
                            G
Fill the dirt back on the grave

G
We cut the fruit, we took the tree
                               D
We chiseled all the branches free
                              D7
We took more than we'd ever need
                                G
We cut the fruit, we took the tree

CHORUS
C             D           G
Darker than ever in the mine
C         D              G    
Shine a light, shine a light
C       D                    G
Holler back now, make some noise
   C                    D         G
I do believe they've trapped us boys

G            
Can't have no one not toe the line
                                    D
'Round here, it's always 'round midnight
                                D7
Can't have no brothers left behind
                                G
Can't have no one not toe the line

G
That ain't the cavalry we heard
                                        D
It's the rain that's crashing on the earth
                                           D7
Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt
                                    G
And, no, that ain't the cavalry we heard

CHORUS
C             D           G
Darker than ever in the mine
C         D              G    
Shine a light, shine a light
C       D                    G
Holler back now, make some noise
   C                    D         G
I do believe they've trapped us boys
