Coal River

[Intro] C  G  E  Am

Am       C              G       
Oh coal river won't you wash my 
      Am
bones away
Am                   C            
I'm slaving for the company and I 
E
can't get any pay
Am          C            G      
Well mining coal ain't a way to 
       Am
make a life
Am          C                   
And I can't feed the hunger of three
E
 kids and a wife
             Am           C       
Well now the haulers are empty and
     G              Am
 the company's left town
           Am           C         
And there ain't no more mountains 
         G            Am
for coal river to bend around

( C  G  E  Am )

          Am             C        
Well the curses in these mountains
            G           Am
 have taken many of our kind
         Am         C             
And the souls dance upon the sands
       E
 where that old river winds
   Am             C        G     
Oh Lord won't you take me before 
              Am
that mountain does
   Am           C             G  
A life in these hills ain't what 
             Am
I thought it was

( C  G  E  Am )

Am                  C        G  
Coal river cuts the land of 
               Am
where I'll rest my soal
            Am           C        
And through these barren mountains
     E
 my story will be told
    Am           C             G 
I'm headed for a pine box, my 
             Am
mining days are through
Am                    C          
Boy don't trust these mountains 
       G                    Am
for the curse they'll put on you

Am       C              G       
Oh coal river won't you wash my 
      Am
bones away
Am                   C            
I'm slaving for the company and I 
E
can't get any pay
Am          C            G      
Well mining coal ain't a way to 
       Am
make a life
Am          C                   
And I can't feed the hunger of three
E
 kids and a wife
             Am           C

 the company's left town
           Am           C
