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

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