[Intro] Em G D A A A7 A7 Em G D A A A A [Verse 1]
    Em                    G                  D                 A
Now God made coal for the men who sold their lives to West Van Lear

        Em                       G                         D                 A
And you keep on diggin' 'til you get down there where it's darker than your darkest fears

         Em                       G                        D                  A
And that woman in the kitchen she keeps on cookin' but she ain't had meat in years

     Em                 G                   D                  A     A7
Just live off bread and live off hope and a pool of a million tears
[Verse 2]
          Em                           G               D                     A
Now lemme tell you somethin' 'bout the gospel and make sure that you mark it down

     Em                 G                          D                  A
When God spoke out "Let there be light" he put the first of us in the ground

          Em                       G                      D                 A
And we'll keep on diggin' 'til the comin' of the Lord and Gabriel's trumpet sounds

          Em                       G                   D                  A     A7
'Cause if you ain't minin' for the company, boy, there ain't much in this town
[Chorus]
   G                           D                         A                               A7
We coulda made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'da listened to the folks that knew

     G    D    A
That co---oa---oal is gonna bury you
[Solo] Em G D A A x3 Em G D A A A7 A7 [Verse 3]
         Em            G                D             A
Now it's darker than a dungeon and it's deeper than a well

   Em           G               D                       A
So sometimes I imagine that I'm getting pretty close to hell

    Em            G       D              A
And in my darkest hour, I cry out to the Lord

   Em             G                 D                   A     A7
He says keep on a-minin' boy 'cause that's why you were born
[Chorus]
   G                           D                         A                               A7
We coulda made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'da listened to the folks that knew

     G    D    A                     A7
That co---oa---oal is gonna bury you
[Solo] Em G D A A x3 Em G D A7
