My Last Day In The Mine Chords

(ver. 1)
Blue Highway
[Intro]
| D      | D      | D      | D      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
        D
It's my last day on the job
      G                             D                         A
After forty years of loading coal I knew one day I'd face the end
D
Seems like only yesterday
   G                          D
A straight backed boy barely 21
                    A                  G
Who didn't have to strain to catch his wind
 
 
[Verse 2]
          D
There's a lot of mixed emotions
        G                                     D              A
All the friends and family I've seen come and go down in the hole
        D
And I′m not sure if I′m the kind of man
         G                          D
Who can spend all day sitting by himself
               A                  G
Slowly growing old with a fishin' pole
 
 
[Chorus]
        G               A
It's my last day in the mine
  G                  D                  A
I never thought that there would come a time
          G            F#7
I′d never go back underground
       Bm     A      G
Lay my dinner bucket down
        D       G       D
It's my last day in the mine
 
 
[Mandolin solo]
| D      | D      | G      | G      | D      | D      | A      | A      |
| D      | D      | G      | G      | D      | D      | A      | A      |
 
 
[Banjo solo]
| G      | G      | A      | A      | G      | D      | A      | A      |
| G      | F#7    | Bm  A  | G      | G      | D      | G      | D      | D      |
 
 
[Verse 3]
    D
The super said to me
   G                                D                 A7
"Today we′re gonna keep you off the line, just stay behind"
       D
Well I know that's how it goes
        G                             D
But I′d rather throw my marker in the car
         A7               G
One last time would be so fine
 
 
[Chorus]
        G               A
It's my last day in the mine
  G                  D                  A
I never thought that there would come a time
          G            F#7
I′d never go back underground
       Bm     A      G
Lay my dinner bucket down
        D       G       D
It's my last day in the mine
        D       G       D
It's my last day in the mine
