[Intro]
C Em7 (quick) Am Fmaj7 (quick) repeat
 
[Verse 1]
   C                       Fmaj7       Am
I spend all my days, going down to the mine.
 G                           G         Fmaj7   Em7
Under the ground, where the sun never shines.
 C                     Fmaj7         Am
Breaking my back, I put heat in your house.
              G                       G          Fmaj7
I've got the roar of a lion, but the breath of a mouse.
 
[Chorus]
 F/C                            G*
Black on my hands, black on my shoes.
 Dm                                      Fmaj7
Black on my heart with these coal-mining blues.
 F/C                            G
Black on my hands, black on my shoes.
 Dm                                    Fmaj7   Fmaj9   Em7*
Ashes to dust, with these coal mining blues.
 
[Verse 2]
    C                        Fmaj7        Am
The man in the mirror, looks nothing like me.
       G                      G      Fmaj7   Em7
Just a weary reminder of what I used to be.
 C                       Fmaj7       Am
Sunken red eyes, and the lines in my face.
  G                   G       Fmaj7
A tired old man, has taken my place.
 
[Chorus]
 F/C                           G*
Black on my hands, Black on my shoes.
 Dm                                       Fmaj7
Black on my heart, from these coal mining blues.
F/C                            G
Black on my hands, Black on my shoes.
 Dm                            Fmaj7   Fmaj9    Em7*
Ashes to dust, with these coal mining blues.

[Verse 3]
   C                        Fmaj7            Am
I can't fall asleep for the dreams that may come.
         G                     G             Fmaj7   Em7
When the walls cave in and the coal fills my lungs.
   C                       Fmaj7         Am
If life is a blessing then please let it be.
 G                       G          Fmaj7
Someday God's light will give these poor souls relief.
