 Subject: Dwight Yoakum submission
 I believe I have the Miners Prayer song stored in my memory, from Dwight
 Yoakum. After a bit of dusting I have written what I can recall and will
 post it in hopes that it helps Kevin or anyone else who seeks the words
 and chords to this song... I play it in C
 C When that sun comes up each morning and I walk 
 G7 down into that cold dark C mine
 I say a prayer to my dear saviour, please let me 
 G7 see the sunshine one more C time
 
 chorus:
 
 When oh F when will it be C over, when F will I lay these burdens G down
 and when I C die dear lord in heaven please take my G7 soul from 'neath
 this cold dark C ground.
 
 I still pine for my dear brother and I still 
 G7 hear my dear old mother C cry
 late one night they came and told her he lost his 
 G7 life down in the Van Leer mines
 
 chorus
