[Intro]
Em Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em D Em
Travelin' down that coal town road.
Em D Em
Listen to my rubber tires whine.
Em D Em
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore.
G D Em
I'm leavin' you be-hind.
G D G
Oh, I've been coal miner all of my life.
G D C D
Layin' down track in the hole.
G C G
Gotta back like an ironwood, bent by the wind.
G D Em
Blood veins blue as the coal.
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
Somebody said, "That's a strange tattoo
G D Em
you have on the side of your head."
Em D Em
I said,"That's the blue mark left by the coal.
G D Em
A little more and I'd been dead.
G D G
Oh, I love the rumble and I love the dark.
G D C D
I love the cool of the slate,
G C G
But it's goin' down that new road, lookin' for a job.
G D Em
That lookin' and travelin' I hate.
[Verse 3]
Em D Em
I stood for the union, I walked in the line
G D Em
I fought against the company.
Em D Em
I stood for the U. M. W. of A.
G D Em
Now, who's gonna stand for me?
G D G
'Cause I've got no job and I got no pay,
G D C D
Just got a worried soul
G C G
And a blue tattoo on the side of my head
G D Em
Left by the number nine coal.
[Verse 4]
