Coal Miners Daughter chords by Loretta Lynn

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD         G+G      D MajorD
Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
        E MajorE        A7A7
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
    D MajorD
We were poor, but we had love
      G+G             D MajorD
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
          A7A7        D MajorD
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.


My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
Mommie rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light
And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'.
Eb MajorEb              G#G#        Eb MajorEb
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
                FF        Bb majorBb
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
  Eb MajorEb
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
  G#G#          Eb MajorEb
To complain there was no need
            Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
She'd smile in Mommie's understanding way.

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from sellin' a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere.

     E MajorE       A augmentedA      E MajorE
Yeah!, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
           F#F#        BB
I remember well - the well where I drew water
  E MajorE
The work we done was hard
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
            BB       E MajorE
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler.

Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore
Except the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter.
