      G                     C*         G*     G
I'm a black lung miner from East Tennessee,

          G                       D         D
raised my family on cold dust and beans.

G                                  C*           Em
  That old black lung's got me, no life left in me,

Am        G              Am              C         G
  hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie.
[Verse 2]
    G                      C*            G     G
For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines,

          G                      G*            D         D
where the earth is as black as a cold winter's night.

        G                             C*        Em
There's millions in the ground, not a penny for me,

Am        G              Am              C         G         G
  hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie.
[Verse 3]
     G                      C*            G*     G
I've loved all my children,   six sons of mine,

                 G                         D         D
I pray that they never have to work in the mine.

        G                                 C*            Em
For the black lung will get them, they'll die just like me,

Am        G              Am              C         G
  hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie.
[Interlude] G C* G* G G D D G C* Em Am G Am C G G G* [Verse 4]
        G                    C*           G
There's frost on the ground,   ice in the trees,

    G                              D         D
the air is so heavy I can't hardly breathe.

        G                           C*           Em
For the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free,

Am        G              Am              C       G
  hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie,

        G              Am              C         G         G
hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie.
