Black Lung

D5

[Verse]
D5
Sunrise lighting up the ridge tops
D5
Slicing through the frost like a red
 hot knife
D5
Sometimes I'm dreaming I'm a running
 across
D5
But I couldn't now to save my life
D5
Hound dog, yipping in the holler
D5
Must have jumped a bear bubba 
brother, listen to him run
D5
Somebody oughta catch him by the 
collar
D5
But I ain't going nowhere 'cause I'm
 down with black lung


[Chorus]
D5
Black lung never gets better
D5
Every breath a little bit harder to 
draw
D5
Shotgun loaded in the corner
D5
Reckon I'mma lay here and die of 
black lung

[Verse]
D5  D5/A      D5              D5/A
Someday's are better than the others
D5             D5/A            
Sit out on the porch when it's 
D5      D5/A    D5/C
cool at night
D5    D5/A      D5            D5/A
Can't say there ain't some suffering

Every breath I take like a 
        D5/A   D5/C
twelve round fight
D5   D5/A   D5              
Grandbabies out beneath the willow 
D5/A
tree
D5            D5/A             
Hollering and laughing, and it 
D5         D5/A    D5/C
sound like fun
D5    D5/A         D5           
Can't pick 'em up, hug 'em all, 
D5/A
anyway
D5          D5/A         D5     
Sorry honey granddaddy's got a 
     D5/A    D5/C
black lung


[Chorus]
D5    D5/A D5         D5/A
Black lung never gets better
D5             D5/A       D5    
Every breath a little bit harder
    D5/A    D5/C
 to draw
D5  D5/A D5           D5/A
Shotgun loaded in the corner
D5           D5/A         D5    
Reckon I'm a lie here and die of
       D5/A    D5/C
 black lung

[Verse]
D5        D5   D5          D5/A
It seemed like it was only yesterday
D5                D5/A         
I pulled my first shift down a 
D5       D5/A    D5/C
longwall mine
D5    D5/A      D5               
First breath of fresh air at the 
D5/A
whistle
D5            D5/A             
And I already knew it's just a 
D5       D5/A    D5/C
matter of time
D5     D5/A  D5             
If I'd never been down in a coal 
D5/A
mine
D5             D5/A              
I'd live a lot longer, hell that 
D5            D5/A    D5/C
ain't a close call
D5  D5/A   D5                   
But then again I'd've never had 
D5/A
anything
    D5             D5/A      
And half a life is better than 
  D5         D5/A    D5/C
nothing at all


[Chorus]
D5    D5/A D5         D5/A
Black lung never gets better
D5             D5/A       D5    
Every breath a little bit harder
    D5/A    D5/C
 to draw
D5  D5/A D5           D5/A
Shotgun loaded in the corner
D5           D5/A         D5    
Reckon I'm a lie here and die of
       D5/A    D5/C
 black lung


[Chorus]
D5    D5/A D5         D5/A
Black lung never gets better
D5             D5/A       D5    
Every breath a little bit harder
    D5/A    D5/C
 to draw
D5  D5/A D5           D5/A
Shotgun loaded in the corner
D5           D5/A         D5    
Reckon I'm a lie here and die of
       D5/A    D5/C
 black lung


D5
Black lung
D5
Never gets better
D5
Every breath a little bit harder to 
draw
D5
Shotgun loaded in the corner
D5
Reckon I'mma lay here and die of 
black lung
