Verse 1
F                         C
Well you aint got no life anymore.
G                       Am
Each day in a dark coal mine.
F            C
Working away every day
G                               Am
with your wife and kids on your mind.
F                                        C
You wake up in the morning and grab your hard hat.
G                           Am
Pray that you make it back home.
F                         C
Your body is aching and you just can't take it
G                        Am
mining that dark black coal.

Chorus
F               C
Dark black coal take my soul
G               Am
owe it to you anyways.
F                          C
Just don't let my children become the victims
G                     Am
of the mountains evil ways.

Verse 2
F                          C
And you miss being younger a boy with a hunger
G                         Am
to get far away from this town.
F                  C
You never knew how or why or when
G                            Am
just knew that you'd make it somehow.
F                  C
Now 20 years older shoulder to shoulder
G                             Am
with boys who we're just like you
F                    C
Spending their lives underground
G                          Am
proving their collars are blue.

Chorus
F               C
Dark black coal take my soul
G             Am
owe it to you anyways.
F                          C
Just don't let my children become the victims
G                     Am
of the mountains evil ways.
F               C
Dark black coal take my soul
G             Am
owe it to you anyways.
F                          C
Just don't let my children become the victims
G                     Am
of the mountains evil ways.
