♫ Verse :
           D MajorD     F# minorF#m
Travelling down this coal town road
A augmentedA        E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Listening to my rubber tires whine
             D MajorD    F# minorF#m
Good-bye to buckeye and white sycamore
 A augmentedA      E MajorE   F# minorF#m
I'm leaving you behind
A augmentedA          E MajorE    A augmentedA
I've been a coal man all my life
       E MajorE      D MajorD E MajorE
Laying down track in the hole
   A augmentedA
Got a back like an ironwood
D MajorD       A augmentedA
Warped by the wind
D MajorD       E MajorE     F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7
Blood veins as blue as the coal
Dadd9Dadd9      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Blood veins as blue as the coal

♫ Verse :
             D MajorD     F# minorF#m
Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
   A augmentedA     E MajorE       F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7
You have on the side of your head"
               D MajorD      F# minorF#m
I said "That's the blueprint left by the coal
  A augmentedA       E MajorE   F# minorF#m
A augmentedA little more and I'd be dead"
   A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
Well
I love the rumble and I love the dark
      E MajorE      D MajorD E MajorE
I love the cool of the slate
     A augmentedA         D MajorD       A augmentedA
But this travelling around, looking for a job
D MajorD       E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Travelling and looking I hate
 Dadd9Dadd9     E MajorE    F# minorF#m
Travelling and looking I hate

♫ Verse :
 F# minorF#m          D MajorD   F# minorF#m
I stood in line for the union
 A augmentedA         E MajorE   F# minorF#m
Fought against the company
         D MajorD F# minorF#m
Stood for the U.M.W.A.
  A augmentedA      E MajorE    F# minorF#m
Now who's gonna stand by me?
 A augmentedA        E MajorE    A augmentedA
I got no job and I got no pay
       E MajorE   D MajorD E MajorE
I just got a weary soul
     A augmentedA         Dadd9Dadd9   A augmentedA
And this blue tattoo on the side of my face
D MajorD      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Left by the number nine coal
D MajorD      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Left by the number nine coal

♫ Verse :
          Dadd9Dadd9  F# minorF#m
Someday, when I'm dead and gone
  A augmentedA      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
To heaven, the land of my dreams
             Dadd9Dadd9  F# minorF#m

And I ain't gonna pay my money away
       E MajorE    D MajorD E MajorE
On dues and hospital plans

I'm gonna pick coal, where the blue heaven's roll
  D MajorD       E MajorE  F# minorF#m
And sing with the angel band
D MajorD       E MajorE   F# minorF#m
Sing with the angel band
