The Kingston Trio - Coal tattoo

^EmTravelin down that c^Doal town ^Emroad. ^EmListenin to my ru^Dbber tires wh^Emine. ^EmGoodbye to Buckeye and ^Dbright Syc^Emamore. ^EmI'm leavin' y^Dou be-h^Emind. ^GI've been coal miner ^Dall of my l^Gife. ^GLayin' down ^Dtrack in the ^Chol^De. Gotta ^Gback like an ironwood,^C bent by th^Ge wind. ^GBlood veins^D blue as the^Em coal. ^CBlood veins ^Dblue as the ^Emcoal.

^EmSomebody said, "That's a s^Dtrange tatt^Emoo y^Emou have on the si^Dde of your he^Emad." ^EmI said,"That's the blueprint l^Deft by the ^Emcoal. Just a l^Emittle more and I^D'd been de^Emad. Well^G, I love the rumble and ^Dlove the ^Gdark. ^GI love the ^Dcool of the s^Cla^Dte, And it's ^Gon down the new road, loo^Ckin' for a j^Gob. This tr^Gavelin'^D nook in ^Emmy head.

^EmI stood for the union wal^Dked in the ^Emline f^Emought against the co^Dmpany^Em. ^EmI stood for the U. M. ^DW. of ^EmA. Now, ^Emwhos gonna s^Dtand by m^Eme? I've g^Got no house and I ^Dgot no ^Gpay, J^Gust got a w^Dorried ^Cso^Dul And a ^Gblue tattoo on the ^Cside of my h^Gead L^Geft by the n^Dumber nine c^Emoal. L^Ceft by the n^Dumber nine c^Emoal.

^EmSome day when I ^Ddie and ^Emgo To ^Emheaven, the la^Dnd of my dre^Emams. I w^Emont have to worry 'bout l^Dosin my ^Emjob, To b^Emad times and bi^Dg mach^Emines. I ai^Gn't gonna pay my ^Dmoney ^Gaway On ^Gdues or ^Dhospital p^Cla^Dns. I'm g^Gonna pick coal while the^C blue heavens^G roll And s^Ging with the ^Dangels ^Emband.
