Keep Your Dirty Lights On

   Dm
If you've read King Coal's ledger 
book
            G              A7
Then you've seen my family name

   Dm             F       Dm     F
It used to take a camp of miners
   Dm
To load that train and gone
            N.C.
Now there's four in my crew and we 
do what we do
   A7                     Dm
To keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Fm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket 
and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm  
We'll keep your dirty lights on
F  Dm


Dm  F  Dm


[Verse 2]
     Dm
Well Daddy worked in darkness
Dm
Me in broad daylight
      Dm
I can blow a whole seam like daddy 
never dreamed
      G           A7
Using Nobel's dynamite

Continues after the ad
   Dm              F             
As long as there's coal in these 
Dm         F
mountains
      Dm
We're gonna burn up it till it's 
gone
Dm
We can't stop blowing mountain tops
            A7                     
We've gotta keep your dirty lights 
Dm
on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket 
and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm
We'll keep your dirty lights on

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Every time they have elections
N.C.
They talk about coal is clean
N.C.
Well coal is cheap but coal's still 
black
N.C.
It ain't never turning green

   Dm         F           Dm   F
So plug your electric car in
Dm
Charge it good and strong
        N.C.
Do your shopping online we'll get 
you every time
     A7                     Dm
Just keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket 
and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm
We'll keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
      G
Yeah, keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket 
and a switch on the wall

F  Dm  F  Dm

            A7                     
We're gonna keep your dirty lights 
Dm  F  Dm
