[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D G
Dear Miss Loretta I ain't ever met ya
A D
But I'm lonely tonight and I just betcha
D G
Might have some wisdom to pull Of that shelf
A D
Your songs were all fun, 'til I lived them myself

[Chorus]
D G
I ain't a coal miner's daughter but my grandmother was
A D
Must be whiskey in the water Must be bourbon in the blood
D G
I'm a long way from Kentucky but the hurtin's the same
A D
Now I know why you sang that way

[Verse 2]
D G
What ended up tough started out broken
A D
What ended up lost started out hopin'
D G
A lifetime of pain was three minutes long
A D
And you weren't ashamed when the world sang along

[Chorus]
D G
I ain't a coal miner's daughter but my grandmother was
A D
Must be whiskey in the water Must be bourbon in the blood
D G
I'm a long way from Kentucky but the hurtin's the same
A D
Now I know why you sang that way

[Bridge]
Em A
Dear Miss Loretta we both grew up too fast
Em A
I wish you could tell me How you made it last

[Chorus]
D G
I ain't a coal Miner's daughter But I've sung it all my life
A D
I ain't been a widow But I've been an ex-wife
D G
I hear your truth and I feel your pain
