New York Mining Disaster 1941 – Bee Gees Song Chord/Tab and Lyric
Artist: Bee Gees
Album/Category: Bee Gees’ 1st (1967)

“New York Mining Disaster 1941”
(B. Gibb)

Verse 1:

In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
G Am/D (xx0555)
It’s just a photograph of someone that I knew

Chorus:

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it’s like on the outside
Don’t go talking too loud, you’ll cause a landslide
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
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
It’s just a photograph of someone that I [Am/D]knew

(repeat chorus)

Coda:

Mr. Jones[Am/G]…[Am/F][Am/E][Am/D]

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:

Am x07677 Am/D 000677
C 575675 (or barre at 10th fret)
D 000000


— another ace 60’s tab from Andrew Rogers
