[Verse 1]
   D                                   A
My daddy was a miner, my daddy's daddy too

A                                        D
Union, God, and country is all they ever knew

     D
They worked from early mornin’

                         A
till the evenin' whistle blew

          A
When it'd strike the mine they'd walk the line

                           D
'Cause that's just what ya do

            D
When you're born in West Virginia

                    A
A miner through and through

A                                        D
Union, God, and country was all you ever knew
[Chorus]

West Virginia, gold and blue

  D                                      A
Before there was a union the company was king

      A
You'd work your fingers to the bone

                D
Couldn't show a thing

    D
You shifted coal till Friday

                  A
Drew your pay and then

      A
You'd walk down to the company store

                  D
And give it back again

       D
That's why they made the union

                         A
They had nothin' left to lose

A
Union, God, and country

                  D
Was all they ever knew
[Chorus]

It was union, God, and country
