Hello My Name Is Coal

         Dm                        
I'm from West 'by God' Virginia and
     G
 the high Kentucky hills
    Dm                      C     
I'm dirty but I'm honest, I pay a 
           G
poor man's bills
          Dm                       
I'm pros- perity and poverty, I'm a
 G
 scoundrel and a saint
    Dm              G             
I'm loved, reviled, misunderstood,
       C         G        Dm
 I'm a hope in a hopeless place

[Chorus]
     G                           
Hel- lo, my name is coal, and a- 
Dm
round here I'm the king
G                               
Some say I'm a savior, some say 
Dm                    Am
death is what I bring
Dm                                
I've broke miner's backs and 
           G
hearts and I've wrestled for their 
souls
Dm            G                 
Let me intro- duce myself, hel- 
C      G       Dm     Dm
lo, my name is coal

Dm                                 
Some men call me 'black gold', you 
G
might have heard of me
   Dm                       C     
My body is the mountain, my breath
             G
 is kerosene
Dm                                
You might think I'm out of date, 
          G
but if I'm out of style and old
    Dm               G          C 
And why do men still dig me all a-
 G         Dm
 round the globe?

[Chorus]
     G                           
Hel- lo, my name is coal, and a- 
Dm
round here I'm the queen
     G                             
Some say I'm cheap and easy, oh 
  Dm                   Am
but, they still bow to me
   Dm                              
Be careful, I'll break up your home
          G
 and I'll steal away your soul
     Dm                G          
It's dangerous to lust for me, 
  C      G       Dm     Dm
hel- lo, my name is coal

     Dm                            
They curse me now for what I am, 
  G
but not that long ago
          Dm         G         
They sang my praises everywhere,
