More Good Men Going Down Chords & Lyrics - Broadside Magazine

A [F]ba[C]by [G]cries [C]in the [G]morning sun,
The [F]mother [C]looks [G]down [C]on her [G]fatherless one
The [F]resc[C]ue [G]team [C]goes [G]on and on
More good [F]men going [G]down

And [F]her [C]eyes [G]showed [C]tears o[G]f pain
As [F]she l[C]ooked [G]out h[C]er wind[G]ow-paine
Her [F]man's [C]not [G]comin'[C] home [G]again
More good [F]men going [G]down

He d[F]ied [C]when [G]he was [C]just tw[G]enty two
A y[F]oung [C]man in[G] his [C]prime [G]
he [F]left [C]a wife[G] and [C]a baby [G]boy
more good [F]men going [G]down

The [F]moth[C]er wi[G]ll live[C] and th[G]e boy will grow
in [F]a few[C] more [G]years[C] you'll[G] never know
tha[F]t the[C] mothe[G]r fro[C]m those[G] other times
Had l[F]ost a[C]nother[G] man [C]to the [G]mines

More good [F]men going [G]down
More good [F]men going [G]down
