Key of Eb, capo 1, play in D D / G / Bm / A
DLydie lit a GcigarettBme todayA DAncient fumbling Gfingers iBmn her Away From a fGorty year old cBmoffee cup she sAipped a bit of Ggin BmClosed her eAyes and let the Gmemories in.
She lives in the old place all alone, Keeps in touch with neighbors by the phone Grows roses on the graves of her firstborn and his father And the coal trucks never bother her
DOh LBmydie, let him gAo the boy is Ggone BmHer mother sAtruggled as she Gtore him from her arms DOh LBmydia your tAears are heaven??G?s rain BmBut she nAever was the Gsame
A cotton dress and satin shoes Indian summer sun, dressed in amber hues Spending time with a coal miner’s son To an old time fiddle tune The months went by just like a breeze that year, They wed in June, and by the fall the boy was here Word come down from Big Stone, there’s a fire in the mine And eleven men they couldn’t find Chorus Break She watched them pull him from the hole, The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke, Lydie twice had had this dream and twice it had come true And when she saw his father’s boots she knew. Chorus Verse 1
