[Verse 1]
C#m Fb F#m A
In Johnson county holler where the minin' comp'ny bloomed
C#m Fb F#m A
He lived in a house with all five brothers, his dearest sisters too
C#m Fb F#m A
The summer heat was as bad as the mud that the human air did brew
C#m Fb F#m A C#m
In the winter the snow just blowed on in through holes in the wall you could throw a dog through
C#m C#m
[Verse 2]
C#m Fb F#m A
As an able-bodied boy he lied about his age
C#m Fb F#m A
To help his father break away from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
C#m Fb F#m A
They made him shoot their coal and he was grateful at the time
C#m Fb F#m A C#m
There was many a boy that'd done the same and they'd never come out alive
C#m
[Chorus]
C#m Fb
Better run coalshooter run
F#m A
Run away as fast as you can
C#m Fb F#m A
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
C#m Fb F#m A
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
C#m Fb F#m A
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
C#m
[Verse 3]
C#m Fb F#m A
Well they were bitin' down on blasting caps just doing like daddy asked
C#m Fb F#m A
Even though they knew that the next bite down could surely be their last
C#m Fb F#m A
You ain't got no time to be scared no, with dynamite in your hands
C#m Fb F#m A
Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up, son you're as good as dead
C#m
[Chorus]
C#m Fb
Better run coalshooter run
F#m A
Run away as fast as you can
C#m Fb F#m A
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
C#m Fb F#m A
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
C#m Fb F#m A
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again

C#m
[Verse 4]
C#m Fb F#m A
They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
C#m Fb F#m A
Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
C#m Fb F#m A F#m
To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
Fb F#m A
And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
C#m Fb F#m A
Mama cries
[Chorus]
C#m Fb
Better run coalshooter run
F#m A
Run away as fast as you can
C#m Fb F#m A
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
C#m Fb F#m A
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
C#m Fb F#m A
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
