Mining For Coal Chords & Lyrics - Randy Travis

[INTRO]

[C] [C] [C] [C]

[VERSE 1]

[C]I've searched the world over all of my life
Just [F]looking for something
To make my love[C] shine

Like a candle that burns in the night
[F]But I came up with nothing
Till I looked in your [G]eyes
[F]Deeper and deeper [G]inside

[CHORUS]

And [C]all of the [G]treasures
I [F]found in your soul
Was like [Am]finding a diamond [F]
When you're mining for [C]co[G]al[F] [F]

[VERSE 2]

[C]I've been a fool for glitter and gold
And [F]women that sparkle shiny and [C]cold

Like a statue carved out of ice
They [F]shimmer like tinsel
On a blue Christmas [G]night
[F]But they never were quite so [G]bright

[CHORUS]

As [C]all of the t[G]reasures
Th[F]at loving you holds
It's like [Am]finding a diamond [F]
When you're mining for [C]co[G]al[F] [F]

[BRIDGE]

I [G]was a miner
And you [F]were a rock in the [C]dust
But y[D]ou became flawless
When you were you polished by [G]love

[CHORUS]

And [C]when I f[G]ound you
I [F]lost all control
I f[Am]ound me a [F]diamond
Just mining for [C]coal

And [C]when I f[G]ound you
I [F]lost all control
I f[Am]ound me a [F]diamond
Just mining for [C]co[G]al[F] [F] [C]
