[Intro 1]
[Bm][A][D][G][A][D]
[Bm]Cold like

[Verse 1]
[A]gold,
[D]darkest midnight waters
Flow[G]ing through my memories
in the shadows of my [A]soul
[Bm]Cold like [A]gold, he [D]put my daddy un[G]der
Like him I'm growing [A]old, digging [D]coal
And a model tea [A]-day king
[D]settled in the [G]valley
Spent thirty years down [A]in
this blackened [D]hell
And all my daddy got
[A]for all[D] those years of try[G]in'
Was a coal -dust -covered
[A]grave upon [D]the hill
As a child I still remem[A]ber
those [D]same old temples hum[G]min'
Those mighty diesel train
[A]s would come and g[D]o
As a little barefoot [A]boy,
by the [D]coal yards I would won[G]der
Man, where could they be tak
[A]ing all that [D]coal?
[Bm]Coal, black [A]gold,
[D]dark as midnight waters
Blow[G]ing through my memories
in the shadows of a [A]soul
[Bm]Coal, black [A]gold,
you [D]put my daddy un[G]der
Like him I'm growing [A]old,
digging [D]coal[Bm][A][D][G]
[A][D]
Was my bride of seventeen,
[A]she long sin[D]ce gave up her dreams[G]
Guess she knows I'll live and
[A]die here diggin' [D]coal
Well, she's a coal miner's [A]daughter,
though it's [D]not the life she [G]wanted
Like me, it's the [A]only one she [D]knows
[Bm]Coal, black [A]gold,
[D]darkest midnight waters
Blow[G]ing through my memories
in the shadows of my [A]soul
[Bm]Cold like [A]gold, you [D]put my daddy un[G]der
Like him I'm growing [A]old, digging coal
[D]Like my dad[G]dy, it's the onl[A]y life I kno[D]w
