               D               A                     D                             D             A             D 

I’M STILL HERE. I’m feeling kind of shoddy. I’M STILL HERE in mind and body
D G D D A D
I’M STILL HERE. My hands are gnarled and knotty. I’M STILL HERE. I’M STILL HERE

It was New Year’s Eve 2005. Twenty six men walked into the mine.
There was an explosion and a cave-in. Thirteen came out and thirteen were left behind

      D             A       Bm                 G              A       Bm

Little girls play in the kitchen. Little boys play in the yard
G A Bm G A D
Little girls watch what Mama’s a fixin’ for daddy’s out workin’ so hard.
D A D D G D
I’M STILL HERE. Deep in the darkness. I’M STILL HERE in the cold, cold ground
D G D D A D
I’M STILL HERE. Can you hear me? I’M STILL HERE praying to be found

So, they drilldown to the miners, listening for a sound
And there’s silence at the truck stops and the diners in this frozen little town.

And the wives wait on the surface, children at their side
Praying, Daddy’s coming home. Coming home tonight

I’M STILL HERE. You can hear a pin drop
I’M STILL HERE but I won’t be long
I’M STILL HERE. Come and get me
I’M STILL HERE. Come take me home
