"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 [xx0555]
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
Chorus:
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:
Am x07677 Am/D 000677
C 575675 [or barre at 10th fret]
D 000000
E 222222 Esus4 222322
F 333333
G 555555

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEE GEES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
