Key of Eb, capo 1, play in D C / F / Am / G
CLydie lit a FcigarettAme todayG CAncient fumbling Ffingers iAmn her Gway From a fForty year old cAmoffee cup she sGipped a bit of Fgin AmClosed her eGyes and let the Fmemories 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
COh LAmydie, let him gGo the boy is Fgone AmHer mother sGtruggled as she Ftore him from her arms COh LAmydia your tGears are heaven??F?s rain AmBut she nGever was the Fsame
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
