Intro:
Am G C G F
Am G C G F F
VERSE:
G Am C
Daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
G F
And every day he would make what troubled momma's mind
Am C
Numbers were rising the shafts were falling in
G F F
We prayed to God that we would see my daddy again
Am 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
Am 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 Am
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 Am
D dollar for the company a penny for his time
F G Am
As he worked his life away down in the mines
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am C G F
Am C G F F
VERSE:
Am C
Covered in his coat of coal his skin black as night
G F
Not enough air to breathe a struggle for his life
Am 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
Am 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
Am 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 Am
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 Am
And a dollar for the company a penny for his time
F G Am
As he worked his life away down in the mines
