Verse 2
G
A few people rushed,
D

there's only a few
C
It's just the thugs and

the scabs foolin' you

A man grabbed his daughter
and carried her down
But the thugs held the door

and they could not get out
D

Then others followed a hundred or more
C

Most everybody remained on the floor

The thugs, they laughed
at their murderous joke
And the children were smothered
D

on the stairs by the door
D

Such a terrible sight, I never did see

We carried our children
back up to their tree

The scabs outside

still laughed at their spree
And the children that died
D
G
C

there were seventy -three
D

The piano played a slow funeral tune
C
And the town was lit up
by a cold Christmas moon

The parents they cried
and the miners they moaned
See what your greed for money has done
