VERSE:
E F#m A
Daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
E D
And every day he would make what troubled momma's mind
F#m A
Numbers were rising the shafts were falling in
E D D
We prayed to God that we would see my daddy again
F#m A
Winter came to Krueger's and shut down for repair
E D
While the suit and ties that owned us wouldn't stop the mine affairs
F#m A
They promised the return of all the work the best they could
E D D
On a foggy mountain morning daddy went to work for good
CHORUS:
E F#m
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
D A A
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
D E A F#m
B dollar for the company a penny for his time
D E F#m
As he worked his life away down in the mines
INSTRUMENTAL:
F#m A E D
F#m A E D D
VERSE:
F#m A
Covered in his coat of coal his skin black as night
E D
Not enough air to breathe a struggle for his life
F#m A
It's been seven lonely years since we've heard that whistle blow
E D D
Waiting for my pa to dig out all of West Virginia coal
F#m A
The people of the town all moved away to better things
E D
But momma kept our family here to chase for daddy's dream
F#m A
Now we stand around his grave with just an empty hope
E D D
Just like the miner buried here in these West Virginia coal
CHORUS:
E F#m
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
D A A
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
D E A F#m
And a dollar for the company a penny for his time
D E F#m
As he worked his life away down in the mines
