[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.
