Into: Em C (D) C C
Em C
This land is bar-ren and bro-ken,
D G D
Scarred like the face of the moon
Em Bm
Our tongue is no lon-ger spo-ken
C D
And the Towns all a-round face ruin
Em C
Will there be work in New Bruns-wick?
D G D
Will I find gold in the Cape?
Em Bm
If I tun-nel way down to Aus-tra-lia
C D
Oh will I ever escape.
Chorus:
G D
Where there’s a mine or a hole in the ground
Em C
That’s what I’m heading for that’s where I’m bound
D G D C E/G#
So look for me under the lode and inside the vain,
G D
where the copper the clay the arsnic and tin
Em C
Run in your blood and under your skin
D G D C
I’ll leave the county behind I’m not coming back
(D) C Em
Oh follow me down cousin Jack.
Em C
The soil was to poor to make Eden,
D G D
Granite and sea left no choice
Em Bm
Though visions of heaven sustained us,
C D
When John Wesley gave us a voice
Em C
Did Joseph once come to St Michaels Mount
D G D
Two thousand years pass in a dream
Em Bm
When you’re working your way in the darkness,
C D
Deep in the heart of the seam.
Chorus:
G D
Where there’s a mine or a hole in the ground
Em C
That’s what I’m heading for that’s where I’m bound
D G D C E/G#
So look for me under the lode and inside the vain,
G D
where the copper the clay the arsnic and tin
Em C
Run in your blood and under your skin
D G D C
I’ll leave the county behind I’m not coming back
(D) C Em
Oh follow me down cousin Jack.
I dream of a bridge on the Tamar
It opens us up to the East
And the English they live in our houses
The Spanish fish in these seas
