Loretta Lynn - Coal miners daughter

Well, ^DI was born a ^Gcoal miner's ^Ddaughter In a cabin on a ^Ehill in Butcher ^A7Holler We were ^Dpoor, but we had love That's the ^Gone thing that daddy made ^Dsure of He shoveled coal to ^Amake a poor man's ^Ddollar

My daddy worked all ^Gnight in the Van Lear ^Dcoal mine All day long in the ^Efield a-hoin' ^A7corn Mommy ^Drocked the babies at night And read the B^Gible by the coal oil ^Dlight And everything would start all ^Aover come break of ^Dmorn'^A

Daddy l^Eboved and raised eight ki^Abds on a miner's p^Ebay Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a^F washboard every^Bb day Well, I've ^Ebseen her fingers bleed To co^Abmplain there was no ^Ebneed She'd smile in Mommy's ^Bbunderstanding^Eb way

In the summertime we ^Abdidn't have shoes to ^Ebwear But in the winter time we'd^F all get a brand ne^Bbw pair From a ^Ebmail order catalog Money ^Abmade from sellin' a h^Ebog Daddy always managed to ^Bbget the money s^Ebomewhere^B

Yeah, I'm ^Eproud to be a ^Acoal miner's ^Edaughter I remember well the ^F#well where I drew ^B7water The ^Ework we done was hard At night we'd ^Asleep 'cause we were ^Etired I never thought I'd ever ^B7leave Butcher ^EHoller

Well, a lot of things have c^Ahanged since way back ^Ethen And it's so good to be ^F#back home a^B7gain Not much l^Eeft but the floor Nothing ^Alives here any^Emore Except the memories of a ^B7coal miner's da^Eughter
