Mother Of A Miners Child chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO:] G

[VERSE 1]

She is my flower
And she blooms for the [C]one who loves her [G]best
The [C]miners stop to [D]watch her when she [G]walks
They [D]know her love is not for sale [C]
She will never fail me 'cause I [G]know [D/F#]
I watched her [Em]grow
The [C]mother of a [Am]miner's child
[C]Waits for me be[D]side the kitchen [G]door [D]

[VERSE 2]
She is my [G]light
In this place where the [C]darkness never [G]ends
She'll [C]guide me where the [D]tunnels twist and [G]bend
She's the [D]only one who listens when I [C]tell her
I got less than I can [G]spend [D/F#]
She knows the [Em]pace
Oh, [C]mother of a [Am]miner's child
[C]Wash away the [D]coal dust from my [G]face [F] [C] [G]

[VERSE 3]

When the night shift's done
She'll be waiting by the [C]table when I [G]come
[C]Searching for a[D]nother dream to [G]chase
Oh, [D]mother of a miner's child
I [C]know that you still think about the [G]day
When [D/F#]we'll be moving [Em]on
Re[C]member dear old [Am]daddy and
The [C]promise that I [D]made to carry [G]on [D]

[VERSE 4]
Sometimes I [G]smile
In the cage where the [C]cables softly [G]hum
I'd [C]curse that old [D]straw boss to the [G]bone
But the [D]mother of a miner's child
Is [C]waiting for her pay-check to come [G]home [D/F#]
Come Satur[Em]day
And [C]he is just a [Am]miner's boy
I [C]hope that he will [D]find a better [G]way [F] [C] [G]

[VERSE 5]

She is my flower
And she blooms for the [C]one who loves her [G]best
The [C]miners stop to [D]watch her when she [G]walks
They [D]know her love is not for sale [C]
She will never fail me 'cause I [G]know [D/F#]
I watched her [Em]grow
The [C]mother of a [Am]miner's child
[C]Waits for me [D]beside the kitchen [G]door [F] [C] [G]
