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

VERSE:
D#m F#
Covered in his coat of coal his skin black as night
C# B
Not enough air to breathe a struggle for his life
D#m F#
It's been seven lonely years since we've heard that whistle blow
C# B B
Waiting for my pa to dig out all of West Virginia coal
D#m F#
The people of the town all moved away to better things
C# B
But momma kept our family here to chase for daddy's dream
D#m F#
Now we stand around his grave with just an empty hope
C# B B
Just like the miner buried here in these West Virginia coal
CHORUS:
C# D#m
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
B F# F#
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
B C# F# D#m
And a dollar for the company a penny for his time
B C# D#m
As he worked his life away down in the mines
