Arkansas Coal Suite chords by Nancy Sinatra

Chords with lyrics

G+G
Not so long ago just outside Paris Arkansas
a young lady had a mountain to climb

G+G
Gonna climb up this mountain cause there’s one thing I know
 				       D MajorD
My daddy is in his mountain diggin' Arkansas coal
   G+G
Yes I hear my mama calling, I let her wait ten minutes more she’ll be so
Cause I like to lay on the ground and listen to the sound of my daddy
         D MajorD
Digging Arkansas coal

G+G     C7C7        G+G             D MajorD
I was born in this mountain went down here since I was nine years old
   G+G               C7C7    G+G    D MajorD
And I know some day I’ll die in this mountain diggin', diggin'
G+G     Bb majorBb    G+G
Arkansas, Arkansas coal, Arkansas coal

C7C7 F7F7 C7C7 F7F7

C7C7      F7F7    C7C7    F7F7
Married me a good man back in ’59,
C7C7       F7F7         C7C7         F7F7
Knew he was an Arkansas coalminer and that suited me fine
C7C7       F7F7    C7C7           F7F7
Got us a little daughter, she's only eight years old
C7C7        F7F7         C7C7    F7F7   C7C7
Wishing she was a man like her daddy diggin' Arkansas coal

Billie get off that mountain, Billie you got to go to school
Billie your mama and daddy ain’t gonna raise you no natural fool
Ain’t gonna raise you no natural fool

A minorAm          E minorEm    A minorAm            E minorEm
Mama why is the earth shaking? Mama is the world coming to an end?
A minorAm        E minorEm   DmDm         A minorAm
Mama why are you crying? Is it another cave in?

A augmentedA          E MajorE    A augmentedA            E MajorE
My God the rocks are fallin', ten thousand tons on my head
A augmentedA             E MajorE     A augmentedA             E MajorE
I knew someday this would happen so this is how it feels to be dead
  A augmentedA             E MajorE
So this is how it feels to be dead

Gonna climb up that mountain cause there is one thing I know
My daddy is in that mountain diggin' Arkansas coal
