Intro: D, D, D, D, G, G, G, G, A, A, A, A, D, G, D, D... (Each letter name is a 3-beat measure)...

D G
Up there on that hillside... there's... an old miner's grave...
A D
And the briars and bushes... that a-bout... cover it up these days...
D G
And there's no one to claim it... or care if he's gone a-way...
A D
For he was only a miner, and it's only... a coal miner's grave...
D G
So, pay no attention... it's only an old miner's grave...
A D
Pay no attention... to the briars and the weeds... let them stay...
D G
Cause who's gonna miss him... or care, that he's gone a-way...
A D
He was only a miner, and it's only a coal miner's grave...

D G
Francis Estep... from Holly Grove W.Va...
A D
In nineteen and thirteen, loaded coal ten hours a day...
D G
Six days a week... forty-seven and a half cents a ton...
A D
He was shot down by gun thugs... at the young age of, thirty-one...
D G
So the briars and brambles, ramble all over his grave...
A D
Like the thorns in his life... for living, he had to pay...
D G
Now there's no one to miss him... care that he's gone a-way...
A D
He was only a miner, and it's only... a coal miner's grave...

D G
So, is this little marker... his only memorial, to-day?...
A D
A man, who gave his life... for the U.M.W.of A...
D G
Is this how we remember... all the sacrifices... he made?
A D
To let the briars and the weeds... take over his Un-ion and grave...
End...
