INTRO: E minorEm G+G D MajorD A minorAm   E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC

VERSE:
E minorEm        G+G
 Granddad was a union man,
    D MajorD        A minorAm
Worked deep beneath the ground
 E minorEm          G+G
Said a prayer in the morning,
   D MajorD           C majorC
And again to see the sun go down
E minorEm        G+G
Day from night by lantern light,
  D MajorD       A minorAm
To earn enough to eat
 C majorC           G+G
Saturday moon on the mountainside,
   D MajorD         E minorEm
The fiddle moved their feet


VERSE:
 E minorEm     G+G
Went in the mines at fourteen,
    D MajorD       A minorAm
Took a wife at twenty one
 E minorEm           G+G
Raised five kids in the holler,
 D MajorD       C majorC
Like his daddy done
 E minorEm          G+G
Company cut costs and corners,
 D MajorD       A minorAm
Everywhere it could
    C majorC      G+G
Still every Sunday they gave thanks,
 D MajorD        E minorEm
That they had it good

CHORUS:
  C majorC          G+G
I know that times are changing,
   D MajorD        G+G
They say progress is good
 C majorC        G+G
But do we honor honest work,
   D MajorD       E minorEm
Like my granddaddy would
   C majorC       G+G
The eagle soaring high,
     D MajorD       G+G
Would he recognize this land
 C majorC        G+G
Built upon the sturdy backs,
   D MajorD        E minorEm
Of those who made by hand


INSTRUMENTAL:
E minorEm G+G D MajorD A minorAm    E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC


VERSE:
  E minorEm        G+G
My daddy left these mountains
     D MajorD     A minorAm
For the mills of Ohio
  E minorEm          G+G
He rolled the steel that won the war,
   D MajorD      C majorC
Far away from his home
 E minorEm        G+G
Back in grandad's holler,
   D MajorD          A minorAm
Big timber stripped the land
     C majorC
Laid the railroad tracks
   G+G
That can't bring back,
   D MajorD          E minorEm
The lives they'd made by hand


CHORUS:
  C majorC          G+G
I know that times are changing,
   D MajorD        G+G
They say progress is good
 C majorC        G+G
But do we honor honest work,
   D MajorD       E minorEm
Like my granddaddy would
   C majorC       G+G
The eagle soaring high,
     D MajorD       G+G
Would he recognize this land
 C majorC        G+G
Built upon the sturdy backs,
   D MajorD        E minorEm
Of those who made by hand, hey, hey, hey


INSTRUMENTAL:
E minorEm G+G D MajorD A minorAm    E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
E minorEm G+G D MajorD A minorAm    E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC


VERSE:
  E minorEm        G+G
I long for West Virginia,
   D MajorD         A minorAm
Her hard blue rolling hills
E minorEm        G+G
Memories of childhood,
  D MajorD         C majorC
I hear those echoes still
     E minorEm        G+G
But our families stories vanished,
   D MajorD      A minorAm
No trace I could find
   C majorC       G+G
They even tore the mountain down,
    D MajorD       E minorEm
Where grandad used to mine


CHORUS:
  C majorC          G+G
I know that times are changing,
   D MajorD        G+G
They say progress is good
  C majorC      G+G
But do we honor honest work,
   D MajorD       E minorEm
Like my granddaddy would
   C majorC       G+G
The eagle soaring high,
     D MajorD       G+G
Would he recognize this land
 C majorC        G+G
Built upon the sturdy backs,
   D MajorD        E minorEm
Of those who made by hand


OUTRO:
 C majorC        G+G
Built upon the sturdy backs,
   D MajorD        E minorEm
Of those who made by hand
