Subject: RE: Help: Coal mine disasters/troubles
I've been looking for a long time for the chords to a song called "The Ballad of Sid Hatfield." Sid was lawman on the side of the striking miners and was involved in the infamous Matewan Massacre shootout with Baldwin Felts detectives in Matewan, West Virginia, 80 years ago. (If you've seen John Sayles's outstanding movie "Matewan," that's the basic story.) I have the words -- on my computer at work -- if anyone would like them. Be great if someone could help me out with this. Thanks!
