Last Train From Poor Valley

     D                A        G 
Well it was good one time 
                D
everything was mighty fine
                   A           
The coal tipples roared day and 
  D
night
     D              A         
But things they got slow for no 
    G            D
reason that I know
     D              A         D
And ill winds they hove into sight


[Verse]

     D                A        G 
The mines all closed down 
         D
everybody laid around
                   A           D
There wasn't very much left to do
                      A         
Except stand in that line to get 
       G               D
your ration script on time
                   A             D
And woman I could see it killin' you


[Chorus]

         D                A    D
Now the soft new snows of December

        Bm  G           D
Lightly fall my cabin 'round
                             G
And the last train from Poor Valley
        D    G      A     G

[Verse]

                          A       
It's been a comin' on and on lord 
G                 D
soon you would be gone
                      A          D
Leavin' crossed your mind every day
                 A             G  
Then you said to me things are bad
               D
 back home you see
                 A        D
I guess I better be on my way


[Verse]

                         A       
Well I should blame you now but I 
  G              D
never could somehow
                     A             
A miner's wife you weren't cutout 
  D
to be
                    A              
It wasn't what you thought just 
   G                 D
some dreams that you'd bought
                       A           
When you left home and ran away 
  D
with me



[Chorus]

         D                A    D
Now the soft new snows of December
        Bm  G           D
Lightly fall my cabin 'round
                             G
And the last train from Poor Valley
