Cadd9Cadd9
he packs his bucket on Monday morning
G+G
another long week down at the mines
D MajorD
and he ain't ready to go back to work
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
but he's on accompanies time
G+G
he don't do it for the greed or pleasure
Cadd9Cadd9
and he ain't chasing no pot of gold
D MajorD
he's in a whole in west Virginia
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
because he's got to little baby's at home
chorus
(stop) G+G
It's amazing what we'll do
E minorEm D MajorD
just to provide a home for our children
Cadd9Cadd9
and try to give them a better life
G+G E minorEm
He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes
D MajorD
he's covered in coal in west Virginia
G+G
With his baby's on his mind
playing
Cadd9Cadd9
Come's home tired every day
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Covered in sweat,tattoos,and scars
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
But somehow he finds the energy to rope and play out in the yard
(stop) Cadd9Cadd9
dodge ball,leap frog,and tag your it
G+G
loves the smiles and laughs and those giggle fits
D MajorD
come tonight he'll tuck them into bed
G+G
get up in the morning and start it all over again
Repeat chorus
Like his daddy and his daddy before him
He's doing all he has ever known
came back from the service
got a hat and a light and went straight under ground
each shift he works he ain't but six inches from hell
He seen a lot of good men give it all
and he draws his pay on Friday morning
he might stumble but he ain't gonna fall
It's amazing what we'll do
just to provide a home for our children
and try to give them a better life
He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes
he's covered in coal in west Virginia
With his baby's on his mind
D MajorD
he's covered in coal in west Virginia
G+G
and the sun is on the rise
