Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E minorEm      D MajorD      E minorEm
When I was a curly-headed baby
        D MajorD      E minorEm
My daddy set me down on his knee
           D MajorD           E minorEm
Saying 'Son you go to school, you learn your letters
     C majorC      D MajorD        E minorEm
Don't you be no dusty miner, boy like me'


Chorus:

   D MajorD                     E minorEm
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
     D MajorD                   E minorEm
Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my door
            D MajorD         E minorEm
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties
      C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Because the L&N don't stop here anymore

Verse 2:

 E minorEm        D MajorD      E minorEm
I used to think my Daddy was a black man
           D MajorD        E minorEm
With scrip enough to buy the company store
          D MajorD        E minorEm
But now he goes to town with empty pockets
    C majorC            D MajorD    E minorEm
And his face is as white as the February snow


Verse 3:

   E minorEm         D MajorD         E minorEm
Never thought I'd live to learn to love the coaldust
             D MajorD         E minorEm
Never thought I'd pray to hear those temples roar
          D MajorD          E minorEm
But God I wish the grass would turn to money
       C majorC            D MajorD      E minorEm
And then them greenbacks would fill my pockets once more


Verse 4:

   E minorEm        D MajorD        E minorEm
Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
         D MajorD      E minorEm
To get my payday like I done before
               D MajorD      E minorEm
But them old kudzu vines was covering the doorway
        C majorC            D MajorD           E minorEm
And there was leaves and grass growing right up through the floor


Chorus:

   D MajorD                     E minorEm
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
     D MajorD                   E minorEm
Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my door
            D MajorD         E minorEm
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties
      C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
