Verse 1

  E minorEm          G+G         D MajorD        A augmentedA    A augmentedA
Now God made coal for the men who sold their lives to Wes van Leer

    E minorEm            G+G             D MajorD        A augmentedA
And you keep on diggin' 'til you get down there where it's darker than your darkest

    A augmentedA
fear.

     E minorEm              G+G            D MajorD         A augmentedA   A augmentedA
And that woman in the kitchen tries to keep on cookin' but she ain't had meat in years

   E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD         A augmentedA    A augmentedA
Just live off bread and live off hope and a pool of a million tears.

Now lemme tell you somethin' 'bout the Gospel and make sure that you mark it down

   E minorEm         G+G             D MajorD         A augmentedA     A augmentedA
When God spoke out "Let there be light" he put the first of us in the ground.

     E minorEm            G+G           D MajorD         A augmentedA    A augmentedA
And we'll keep on diggin' 'til the comin' of the lord and Gabriel's trumpet sound

     E minorEm            G+G           D MajorD         A augmentedA    A augmentedA
'Cause if you ain't minin' for the company boy then there ain't much in this town.


Chorus

  E minorEm             G+G            D MajorD
We coulda made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'd listened to the folks that

A augmentedA    A augmentedA
knew

   E minorEm   G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA      A augmentedA
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.

Verse 2

     E minorEm      G+G        D MajorD       A augmentedA    A augmentedA
Now it's darker than a dungeon and it's deeper than a well

  E minorEm      G+G        D MajorD            A augmentedA    A augmentedA
So sometimes I imagine that I'm getting pretty close to hell.

  E minorEm      G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA    A augmentedA
And in my darkest hour, I cry out to the lord.

    E minorEm     G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA    A augmentedA
He says keep on 'a minin' boy cause that's why you were born.

Chorus

  E minorEm             G+G            D MajorD
We coulda made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'd listened to the folks that

A augmentedA    A augmentedA
knew

   E minorEm   G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA      A augmentedA
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.
