_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] Now God made coal [Ab] for the men who sold [Eb] their lives to [Bb] West Van Leer
_ And [Fm] you keep on [Ab] digging till you get down there [Eb] where it's darker than your [Bb] darkest fears _
[Fm] And that woman in the kitchen, [Ab] she keeps on [Eb] cooking but she ain't had [Bb] meat in years
_ [Fm] You just live off [Ab] bread, live off hope [Eb] and a pool of [Bb] a million tears _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] Now let me tell you something about [Ab] the gospel [Eb] and make sure that you [Bb] mark her down
_ _ [Fm] When God spoke [Ab] out, let there be light, he [Eb] put the first of [Bb] us in the ground
_ _ [Fm] And we'll keep on [Ab] digging till the coming of the [Eb] Lord and Gabriel's trumpet [Bb] sounds _ _
[Fm] Cause if you ain't [Ab] minding for the company, boy, [Eb] there ain't much [Bb] in this town _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] We could have made something [Eb] of ourselves out [Bb] there if we'd have listened to the folks that knew
That _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ coal's gonna bury you _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Fm] Now it's darker than [Ab] a dungeon [Eb] and it's deeper than [Bb] a well
So _
[Fm] sometimes [Ab] I imagine [Eb] that I'm getting pretty [Bb] close to hell
_ _ _ [Fm] And in my [Ab] darkest hour, [Eb] I cry out [Bb] to the Lord
He _ [Fm] says keep on [Ab] a-minding, [Eb] boy, cause that's why you [Bb] were born _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] But we could have made [Eb] something of ourselves out there [Bb] if we'd have listened to the folks that knew
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] That _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
coal's gonna bury you _ _ _ _
