[Start]

[Intro]
D A D                     G    D               
■ ■ ■ Well I was borned a coal miner's daughter
                E       A             
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler


[Verse]
        D                   
We were poor but we had love
       G                             D      
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
                    A                 D     
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
                    G                     D         
My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines
                    E             A   
All day long in the field a hoin' corn
D                               
Mommy rocked the babies at night
             G                     D    
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
                            A7                     D     Bb
And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn' ■ 
Eb                           Ab                Eb 
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
                                F               Bb  F7 Bb
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day ■  ■ 
         Eb                    
Why I've seen her fingers bleed
   Ab                    Eb  
To complain there was no need
                       Bb            Eb 
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way
                     Ab                   Eb  
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
                           F                   Bb7 
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair


[Chorus]
     Eb                  
From a mail order catalog
Ab                        Eb 
Money made from selling a hog
                        Bb7                    
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
E                      A            E       
Yeah I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
                    Gb                B    
I remember well the well where I drew water
    E                    
The work we done was hard
              A                    E    
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
                        B               E     
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
                          A                        E   
Well a lot of things have changed since a way back then
                    Gb7          B     B7
And it's so good to be back home again ■ 
         E                          A          E      
Not much left but the floor nothing lives here anymore
                         B    E               
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
