[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
She is my flower
C G And she blooms for the one who loves her best C D G The miners stop to watch her when she walks D C They know her love is not for sale G D/F# She will never fail me 'cause I know Em I watched her grow C Am The mother of a miner's child C D G D Waits for me beside the kitchen door
[VERSE 2:]
G She is my light C G In this place where the darkness never ends C D G She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend D C She's the only one who listens when I tell her G D/F# I got less than I can spend Em She knows the pace C Am Oh, mother of a miner's child C D G F C G Wash away the coal dust from my face
[VERSE 3:]
When the night shift's done
C G She'll be waiting by the table when I come C D G Searching for another dream to chase D Oh, mother of a miner's child C G I know that you still think about the day D/F# Em When we'll be moving on C Am Remember dear old daddy and C D G D The promise that I made to carry on
[VERSE 4:]
G Sometimes I smile C G In the cage where the cables softly hum C D G I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone D But the mother of a miner's child C G D/F# Is waiting for her pay-check to come home Em Come Saturday C Am And he is just a miner's boy C D G F C G I hope that he will find a better way
[VERSE 5:]
She is my flower
C G And she blooms for the one who loves her best C D G The miners stop to watch her when she walks D C They know her love is not for sale G D/F# She will never fail me 'cause I know Em I watched her grow C Am The mother of a miner's child C D G F C G Waits for me beside the kitchen door
