LOADING COAL

Key: Bb / CAPO: 3rd / Play: G

INRTO: C G D G

VERSE:
G                        Em                        
My pappy said when I was seventeen
C                            G
You're six feet tall and you face is clean
G                             C        G
And it don't look right for a boy that old
G                    Em
To not make a livin' loading coal

CHORUS:
Em      G       
Loading coal loading coal
G     C                        G
I'm a double-first cousin to a dad-blamed mole
G                     C       G
Never get rich for to save my soul
G                         Em           D       G
And forty-eleven years of loading coal loading coal

VERSE:
Ain't never got aquainted with a dollor bill
And I don't ever reckon that I ever will
A dollar ain't made for a fellow I'm told
That scoops up a livin' loading coal

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G

VERSE:
I cussed everything in the mining camp
But I know just as well when I grow old
I'll still be a cussin' but loading coal

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G

VERSE:
I know just as well as coal is black
One of these days the mines will strike
And I'll sit around starving til I'm finally told
There's a nickel more a ton for loading coal

REPEAT CHORUS
G
Loading coal, Loading coal, (fade.............)
