Biografía:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

James Keelaghan - Hillcrest Mine
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: D A D A D A D A G D A G D
Down in the mines of the Crowsnest Pass
A
It's the men that die in labour
G D
Sweating coal from the womb of the pit
A G
It's the smell of life they savour
D
And in that mine, young man, you'll find
A
A wealth of broken dreams
G D
As long and as dark and as black and as wide
A G
As the coal in The Hillcrest seam
CHORUS:
D
And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
G D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
A
And they say you don't go
D A
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
D A
'Cause it's one short step
G D
You might leave this world behind
A
And they say you don't go
G A D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
I've heard it whispered in the light of dawn
A
That mountain sometimes moves
G D
That bodes ill for the morning shift
A G
And you know what you're gonna lose
D
Don't go my son where the deep coal runs
A
Turn your back to the mine on the hill
G D
'Cause if the dust and the dark and the gas don't getcha
A G
Then the goons and the bosses will
CHORUS:
D
And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
G D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
A
And they say you don't go
G A
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
D A
'Cause it's one short step
G D
You might leave this world behind
A
And they say you don't go
G A D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
INSTRUMENTAL:
Well son, I'm gonna open up
A
I'm gonna have my say
G D
You'll get no peace from the Hillcrest Mine
A G
'Cept the peace of any early grave
D
Go out and work for the workers' rights
A
Go work for the workers' needs
G D
Don't stay down here to toil for your buck
A G
To be a tool for the owner's greed
CHORUS:
D
And they say you don't go (say you don't go)
G D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
A
And they say you don't go
G A
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
D A
'Cause it's one short step
G D
You might leave this world behind
A
And they say you don't go
G A D
Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
CHORUS:

And they say you don't go (say you don't go)

Say you don't go down in the Hillcrest Mine
