New York Mining Disaster 1941

 
              (B. Gibb)
 
Verse 1:
 
            Am
    In the event of something happening to me
                                               D 
    There is something I would like you all to see
                  G                          Am/D  
    It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
 
 
              G       C         G
    Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
            G               C          F
    Do you know what it's like on the outside
                                              Esus4     E
    Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide
         Am
    Mr. Jones
 
Verse 2:
 
    I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
    Maybe someone is digging underground
    Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
              D                              G     F
    Thinking those who once existed must be dead
 
    repeat chorus
 
Verse 3 repeat verse 1; slightly different chords at end
 
    In the event of something happening to me
    There is something I would like you all to see
                  G                          Am/D   D
    It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
 
    repeat chorus
 
Coda:
 
         Am  Am/G Am/F Am/E Am/D
    Mr. Jones...
 
 
OK, if you want all of these to sound exact you'll have to tune to open D
(low to high: D A D F# A D) like Barry Gibb used; the chord fingerings in
that tuning are:
