Intro: G Verse: C G I'm a black lung miner from East Tennessee D G Raised my family on coal dust and beans C Em Am The old black lung's got me, no life left in me G Am C G Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie Verse: C G For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines D Where the earth is as black as a cold winter's night G C Em Am There's millions in the ground, not a penny for me G Am C G Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie
Verse: C G I've loved all my children, six sons of mine D Pray that they never work in the mine G C Em Am For the black lung will get them and they'll die just like me G Am C G Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie Instrumental: G C G D G C Em Am G Am C Am G Verse: C G Frost on the ground, ice in the trees D The air is so heavy I can't hardly breathe G C Em Am Oh, the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free G Am C G Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie Am C G Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie
