Charles Wesley Godwin - Coal country

^EI'm going down to Charleston ^A Through the ^Eshadow of the mountain this road win^Ads Through closed-^Eup towns, forgotten dreams, and welcome ^Asigns Fading far behind ^{C#m B A} Coal Count^Ery

I'm ^Ethankful for the sons who died ^A Who didn't ^Eback down from a Federal fi^Aght Where the lead ^Elies still and the smoke still r^Aises On the Blair mountain^C#mside ^{B A} Coal Count^Ery

It put a ^Aroof over my head ^E And the arm^Bor on the tanks in Normandy^C#m The ^Blights ^Ashone bright in the hands of its care^E From the west^Bern skies to Washington, D.^C#mC Now it l^Bies bro^Aken, high, and ^Ecold In its gr^Bave of Appalachian s^C#mtone ^{B A} Coal Coun^Etry

Now we d^Eon't need tokens to a ^Bcompany ^Astore That's what gove^Ernment stamps and co^Bdeine's ^Afor We may have won a ^Efew battles but we ^Blost the ^Awar Now we're slaves and ^C#mpoor ^{B A} Coal Coun^Etry
