Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
Well, [D]I was borned a[G] coal miner's da[D]ughter
In a cabin, on a [E]hill in Butcher [A]Holler
We were [D]poor but we had love
That's the [G]one thing that daddy made [D]sure of
He shoveled coal to [A]make a poor man's [D]dollar

[Verse 2]
My [D]daddy worked all [G]night
in the Van Lear [D]coal mines
All day long in the [E]field a hoein' [A]corn
Mommy [D]rocked the babies at night
And read the [G]Bible by the coal- oil [D]light
And ever' thing would start all [A]over
come break of [D]morn[Bb]

[Verse 3]
Daddy [Eb]loved and raised eight [Ab]kids
on a miner's [Eb]pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes
on a [F]washboard ever' [Bb]day
Why I've [Eb]seen her fingers bleed
To com[Ab]plain, there was no [Eb]need
She'd smile in mommy's [Bb]understanding [Eb]way

[Verse 4]
In the [Eb]summertime we [Ab]didn't have
shoes to [Eb]wear
But in the wintertime we'd [F]all get
a brand new [Bb]pair
From a [Eb]mail order catalog
Money [Ab]made from selling a [Eb]hog
Daddy always managed to [Bb]get the money
[Eb]somewhere[B]

[Verse 5]
Yeah, I'm [E]proud to be a [A]coal miner's [E]daughter
I remember well, the [F#]well where I drew [B]water
The [E]work we done was hard
At night we'd [A]sleep 'cause we were [E]tired
I never thought of ever [B]leaving Butcher [E]Holler

[Verse 6]
Well a [E]lot of things have [A]changed
since away back [E]then
And it's so good to [F#]be back home aga[B]in
Not much [E]left but the floor,
nothing [A]lives here any[E]more
Except the memories of a [B]coal miner's
[E]daughter
