Coal chords

Capo 1

[VERSE 1]

Now [Em]God made coal for the [G]men who sold their [D]lives to West Van[A] Lear [A(7)]

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

fear. [A(7)]

And that [Em]woman in the kitchen tries to [G]keep on cookin' but she [D]ain't had meat in [A]years [A(7)]

Just [Em]live off bread and [G]live off hope and a [D]pool of a million [A]tears. [A(7)]

Now lemme [Em]tell you somethin' 'bout the [G]Gospel and make [D]sure that you mark it [A]dow[A(7)]n

When [Em]God spoke out "Let [G]there be light" he put the [D]first of us in the [A]ground. [A(7)]

And we'll [Em]keep on diggin' 'til the [G]comin' of the lord and [D]Gabriel's trumpet [A]sound [A(7)]

'Cause if [Em]you ain't minin' for the [G]company boy then there [D]ain't much in this [A]town. [A(7)]


[CHORUS]

We [Em]coulda made somethin' of our[G]selves out there if we'd [D]listened to the folks that

[A]knew [A(7)]

[Em] [G] [D] [A] [A(7)]
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.

[SOLO]

[VERSE 2]

Now it's [Em]darker than a [G]dungeon and it's [D]deeper than a [A]well [A(7)]

So [Em]sometimes I i[G]magine that I'm [D]getting pretty close to [A]hell. [A(7)]

And [Em]in my darkest [G]hour, I [D]cry out to the [A]lord. [A(7)]

He says [Em]keep on 'a [G]minin' boy cause [D]that's why you were [A]born. [A(7)]

[CHORUS]

We [Em]coulda made somethin' of our[G]selves out there if we'd [D]listened to the folks that

[A]knew [A(7)]

[Em] [G] [D] [A] [A(7)]
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.

[SOLO]
