INTRO: Am
Travelling on down that coal town road
F G Am Listen to my rubber tires whine
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore
F G Am I'm leaving you behind C G C Oh, I've been a coal miner all of my life G F G Laying down track in a hole__ Am Got a back like ironwood, bit by the wind F G Am Blood veins as blue as the coal F G Am Blood veins as blue as the coal
INTERLUDE: Am F G Am
Well, somebody said, "That's a strange tattoo
F G Am You have on the side of your head."
I said, "That's a blue mark left by the coal
F G Am A little more and I'd have been dead C G C Oh, I love the rumble and I love the dark G F G Lord, I love the cool of the sled__ Am But it's going down that blue road, looking for a job F G Am Travelling and looking ahead F G Am Travelling and looking ahead
INSTRUMENTAL: Am F G Am F G Am
C G C G F G Am F G Am F G Am
Some day when I'm dead and gone
F G Am To heaven, the land of my dreams
I won't have to worry about losing my job
F G Am To bad times and big machines C G C Oh, I've got no house, lord, I've got no job G F G Just got a worried soul___ Am And a blue tattoo on the side of my head F G Am Left by the number nine coal F G Am Left by the number nine coal
