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
