Fm            Ab                   Eb                  Bb      
God made coal for the men who sold their lives to West Van Lear
Fm                      Ab                     
And you keep on digging 'til you get down there
Eb                     Bb                
Where it's darker than your darkest fears
    Fm                       
And that woman in the kitchen
Ab                   Eb                     Bb      
She keeps on cookin' but she ain't had meat in years
Fm            Ab                  Eb              Bb           
Just live off bread live off hope and a pool of a million tears
Fm                                 Ab        
Now lemme tell you something about the gospel
                       Bb          
And make sure that you mark it down
Fm                 Ab                
When God spoke out Let there be light
Eb                        Bb        
He put the first of us in the ground
Fm                        Ab                                    Bb            
And we'll keep on digging 'til the coming of the Lord Gabriel's trumpet sounds
Fm                  Ab                        
'cause if you ain't mining for the company boy
Eb                  Bb       
There ain't much in this town


[Chorus]
Ab             Eb                              
We coulda made something of ourselves out there
Bb                                     
If we'd listened to the folks that knew
Ab   Eb   Bb               
That coal is gonna bury you

[Verse]
                Ab            
Now it's darker than a dungeon
Eb                   Bb    
And it's deeper than a well
Fm           Ab        Eb                      Bb           
So sometimes I imagine that I'm getting pretty close to Hell
Fm        Ab           Eb           Bb      
And in my darkest hour I cry out to the Lord
Fm           Ab             Eb                    Bb       
He says Keep on amining boy 'cause that's why you were born


[Chorus]
Ab             Eb                              
We coulda made something of ourselves out there
Bb                                     
If we'd listened to the folks that knew
Ab   Eb   Bb                  
That coal ■  is gonna bury you
