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