Chords for Dream of a Miner's Child : Keith Whitley & Ricky Skaggs

_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh my news lady [Eb] is home [Bb] for his work _ He heard his new child [F] scream
_ [Bb] He went to the side of [Cm] the little [Bb] one's bed For daddy's love had such use
For daddy don't go through [Eb] mines [Bb] today _ _ For dreams have so often [F] come true
[Bb] For daddy, dear daddy, please [Eb] don't go [Bb] away _ I never could live without you _ _
I dreamed that the mines were [Eb] all blazing [Bb] with fire The workers fought for [F] their lives
[Bb] But then the scene changed [Ab] and the [Eb] mouth [Bb] of mine _ Was covered with sweet hearts and lies
_ For daddy don't go [Eb] through [Bb] mines today _ For dreams have so [F] often come true _
[Bb] For daddy, dear daddy, [Eb] please don't [Bb] go away _ I never could live without you
_ _ Go down to the village, [Eb] tell all [Bb] your friends _ That sure as the bright sun does [F] shine
[Bb] There's something to go [Eb] on, a happy nighty [Bb]
day
_ Please daddy don't go to that mine _ For daddy don't go through [Eb]
mines [Bb] today
_ For dreams have so [F] often come true
[Bb] For daddy, dear daddy, [Eb] please don't go [Bb] away _ I never [F] could live [Bb] without you _ _ _
