Coal River by Logan Halstead
Coal River
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[Intro]
C G E Am
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Oh coal river won't you wash my bones away,
Am C E
I'm Slaving for the company and I can't get any pay
Am C G Am
Well mining coal ain't a way to make a life
Am C E
And I can't feed the hungar for three kids and a wife
Am C G Am
Well now the haulers are empty and the companys left town
Am C G Am
And there ain't no more mountain for coal river to bend around
[Bridge]
C G E Am
[Verse I]
Am C G Am
Well the curses in these mountains have taken many of our kind
Am C E
And the souls dance upon the sands where that old river winds
Am C G Am
Oh Lord won't you take me before that mountain does
Am C G Am
A life in these hills ain't what I thought it was
[Bridge]
C G E Am
[Verse II]
Am C G Am
Coal river cuts the land of where I rest my soal
Am C E
To these barron mountains my story will be told
Am C G Am
I'm headed for a pine box, my mining days are through
Am C G Am
Boy don't trust these mountains for a curse they'll put on you
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Oh coal river won't you wash my bones away,
Am C E
I'm Slaving for the company and I can't get any pay
Am C G Am
Well mining coal ain't a way to make a life
Am C E
And I can't feed the hungar for three kids and a wife
Am C G Am
Well now the haulers are empty and the companys left town
Am C G Am
And there ain't no more mountain for coal river to bend around
Am C G Am
No there ain't no more mountains for coal river to bend around
