Devils Ground Cifras

[Verse 1]
Dm                                Am
In a northern land we call god’s country
            G              Dm
In a valley wide his works abound
    Dm                      Am
And god on high surveys his bounty
               G                  Dm
Each glorious sight each wondrous sound
         C                  G
But down below there’s dark temptation
          Am                Dm
An age of tears waits to be found
            C            G
Ten million years in its creation
            Am                  Dm
Now there’s coal in the devil’s ground
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                          Am
So helpless men are sent to plunder
                G             Dm
There desperate needs here to fulfil
      Dm                     Am
And a northern land is wrent asunder
             G                        Dm
But there’ll be grist for the devil’s mill
         C               G
For down below his congregation
            Am                 Dm
Swells with those who ventured down
        C            G
When he bestowed his invitation
              Am                   Dm
To lose their souls in the devil’s ground
 
[Verse 3]
Dm                             Am
Two hundred years and now it’s ended
        G                    Dm
And god regains his northern crown
     Dm                          Am
This pitted land it’s scars soon mended
            G                    Dm
Ten million years till next time round
         C                  G
But down below ten thousand miners
         Am                     Dm
Of their flesh he’s claimed his pound
          C                       G
Long will they lay in the devil’s darkness
               Am                  Dm
And they’ll be coal in the devil’s ground
