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