WEST VIRGINIA COAL
AMANDA COOK
CAPO: 4th FRET
INTRO:
Em D G D C
Em D G D C C
VERSE:
D Em G
Daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
D C
And every day he would make what troubled momma's mind
Em G
Numbers were rising the shafts were falling in
D C C
We prayed to God that we would see my daddy again
Em G
Winter came to Krueger's and shut down for repair
D C
While the suit and ties that owned us wouldn't stop the mine affairs
Em G
They promised the return of all the work the best they could
D C C
On a foggy mountain morning daddy went to work for good
CHORUS:
D Em
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
C G G
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
C D G Em
A dollar for the company a penny for his time
C D Em
As he worked his life away down in the mines
INSTRUMENTAL:
Em G D C
Em G D C C
