[D] [A] [D]
Well, I was born [G] to coal [D] miner's daughter
In a cabin [E] on a hill in [A] Butcher Holler
We were [D] poor but we had love
[G] That's the one thing that daddy [D] made sure of
He shoveled coal [A] to make a poor [D] man's dollar
My daddy worked [G] all night in the [D] Bentley of coal mines
All day [E] long in the field of [A] hoeing corn
Mommy [D] rocked the babies at night
And [G] read the Bible [D]
and everything would [A] start all over
Come break [D] of morn
[Bb] Daddy [Eb] loved [Ab] to take kids on a [Eb] miner's pace
Mommy scrubbed our [F] clothes on a washboard [Bb] every day
[Bbm] While [Eb] I've seen her fingers bleed
[Fm] Her complain there was [Eb] no need
She'd smile in [Bb] mommy's [Eb] understanding way
In [Eb] the summertime [Ab] we didn't have shoes [Eb] to wear
But in the wintertime [F] we'd all get a brand [Bb] new pair
[Eb] From a mail order came [Ab] money made from selling [Eb] a hog
Daddy always [Bb] managed to get the money [Eb] somewhere
[B]
Yeah, [E] [A] [E]
[Gb] [B]
[E] [A] cause we [E] worked hard
I never thought of [B] ever [E] going to Butcher Holler
Well I lost [A] [E]
and it's so good [Gb] to [B] begin
Not [E] much left [A] [E]
except the memories [B] of a coal [E] miner's daughter
Well, I was born [G] to coal [D] miner's daughter
In a cabin [E] on a hill in [A] Butcher Holler
