[A#] Two years ago I wrote a [A] song called Coal Miner's Daughter.
[G]
[C] And I know a little bit about this girl [G] because I just happened to [C] be that coal miner's daughter.
Well I was [F] born to coal [C] miners,
water,
in a cabin [D] on a hill in [G] Butcher Holler.
[C] We were four but we had love, that's the [F] one thing that daddy [C] made sure of.
He shoveled [G] coal to make a poor [C] man's dollar.
My daddy worked [F] all night in a van near [C] the coal mines.
All day long in [D] a field of hoeing [G] corn.
[C] Mommy rocked the babies at night and [F] read the bible by the coal [C] line.
Everything was dark [G] all over come break [C] of dawn.
[G#]
[C#] Daddy loved to raise the [F#] kids on a
[C#] miner's pay.
Mommy scrubbed our clothes [D#] on a washboard [G#] every day.
Well [C#] I've seen her fingers bleed to [F#] complain there was [C#] no need.
She'd smile in [G#] mommy's understanding [C#] way.
In the summertime [F#] we didn't have shoes to [C#] wear.
But in the wintertime [D#] we'd all get a brand [G#] new pair.
[C#] Grandma mail-ordered cash [F#] money made from selling [C#] a home.
Daddy always [G#] managed to get the money [C#] somewhere.
[A]
[D] I'm proud to be [G] a coal miner's [D] daughter.
I remember when [E] the well had no [A] water.
[D]
[G] I would sleep cause we [D] were four.
I never thought [A] of ever leaving [D] Butcher Holler.
Well a lot of things [G] have changed [D] since then.
It's so good [E] to be home [A] again.
Not [D] much left [G] of the leadership [D] anymore.
Except the memories [A] of a coal [D] miner's daughter.
