[Verse 1]
Now [Dm]God made coal for the [F]men who sold
their [C]lives to West Van [G]Lear
And you [Dm]keep on diggin' 'til you
[F]get down there
where it's [C]darker than your [G]darkest fears
And that [Dm]woman in the kitchen
she [F]keeps on cookin'
but she [C]ain't had meat in [G]years
Just [Dm]live off bread, [F]live off hope
in a [C]pool of a million tears
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
Now let me [Dm]tell you somethin'
'bout the [F]gospel
And make [C]sure that you mark it [G]down
When [Dm]God spoke out "Let [F]there be light"
He put the [C]first of us in the [G]ground
And we'll [Dm]keep on diggin'
'til the [F]comin' of the Lord
And [C]Gabriel's trumpet [G]sounds
'Cause if [Dm]you ain't minin' for the c[F]ompany boy
There [C]ain't much in this town
[G][G][G][G]

[Chorus 1]
We [F]could've made somethin'
of our[C]selves out there
if we'd [G]listened to the folks that knew
That [F]coal [C]is [G]gonna bury you

[Verse 3]
Now it's [Dm]darker than a [F]dungeon
And it's [C]deeper than a [G]well
So [Dm]sometimes I im[F]agine
That I'm [C]gettin' pretty close to [G]hell
And [Dm]in my darkest ho[F]ur
I [C]cry out to the [G]Lord
He [Dm]says "Keep on [F]minin' boy
'Cause [C]that's why you were born"
[G][G][G][G]

[Chorus 2]
Well we [F]could've made somethin'
of our[C]selves out there
if we'd [G]listened to the folks that knew
That [F]coal[C][G]
