[Verse 1]
Em C Em Travelin' down that coal town road G D Em Listenin' to my steel wheels whine; Em C Em Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore G C Em I'm leavin' you behind G D Em I've been a coal man all my life Em D C D Layin' down tracks in the hole G C Em Got a back like an ironwood Bent by the wind Em D Em Blood veins blue as the coal C D Em Blood veins blue as the coal
[Verse 2]
Em C Em Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo G D Em You have on the side of your head" Em C Em I said "That's the mark of the number nine coal G D Em A little more and I'd be dead" G D Em Still I love the rumble and I love the dark Em D C D I love the cool of the slate G C Em But it's back down the road I go, lookin' for a job Em D Em It's travelin' and runnin' I hate G D Em It's travelin' and runnin' I hate
[Verse 3]
Em C Em Someday when I die and to Heaven I go G D Em To Heaven the land of my dreams Em C Em I won't have to worry about losin' my job G D Em To bad times and big machines G D Em Still I've got no job and I've got no pay Em D C D Just got worrying Soul G C Em And these blue tattoo on the side of my head C D Em Left by the number nine coal C D Em Left by the number nine coal C D Em Left by the number nine coal
