[Verse 1]
D A G D
Ain't know sushine upon you . a half a mile below
D A G D
My skins as white as lilys . but you'd never know
D A G D
I'm covered up, head to toe . so you'd never . see it anyway
D A G D
I've come home . as black as night . nearly .everyday
[Chorus]
G D
Some CEO from Chicago, who ain't worked a day
G A
Said coals heating up the planet, but how that is he just can't say
G D
Said solar and wind is the only thing that'll save us now
A G D
Coal is poisoning the planet but they can't say exactly how
[Verse 2]
D A G D
They're shutting down the mines I worked in all my life
D A G D
But I ain't sad a bit, headed home to tell my wife
D A G D
Finally can pick up the banjo and sit on my porch
D A G D
About time I got some fishing in down at Martin's Fork
[Chorus]
G D
Some CEO from Chicago, who ain't worked a day
G A
Said coals heating up the planet, but how that is he just can't say
G D
Said solar and wind is the only thing that'll save us now
A G D
Coal is poisoning the planet but they can't say exactly how
[Verse 3]
D A G D
Some are worried what will happen in this holler without the mines
D A G D
I ain't worried, had a life sentence and already served my time
D A G D
For the first time in 40 years you'll see a smile on my face
D A G D
Tonight I'll drive away, the last time I'll ever see this place.
