[VERSE]
Em C
I'm a child of Appalachia
G D
Where my feet are in the ground
Em C
Buried on the hillside
G D
Near a creek by my house
Em C
Trees dance like gypsies
G D
In the shadows of old coal kings
Em C
And in the stories of my people
G D G
And all the songs I sing
[CHORUS}
D C G
We sing child, tell me what you're looking for
D
It's written in your Bible
C G
Or in an old coal company store
D
There's something in the water
C Em
When my lost soul was found
C
Now it's buried in my bones and blood
D Em
Beneath this holy ground
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
Em C
Well there's wood smoke in my clothes
G D
And a fire up on the hill
Em C
There's something in the fruit jar
G D
You'll always get your fill
Em C
You can say a sinner's prayer
G D
But it won't come running to you
Em C
Yeah, I'll be in church on Sunday
G D G
White-knuckled on the pews
[CHORUS]
D C G
We sing child, tell me what you're looking for
D
It's written in your Bible
C G
Or in an old coal company store
D
There's something in the water
C Em
When my lost soul was found
C
Now it's buried in my bones and blood
D Em C G D
Beneath this holy ground
[INSTRUMENTAL]
