Hello My Name Is Coal by Kathy Mattea
Hello My Name Is Coal
Capo on 2
Dm G
I'm from West 'by God' Virginia and the high Kentucky hills
Dm C G
I'm dirty but I'm honest, I pay a poor man's bills
Dm G
I'm pros- perity and poverty, I'm a scoundrel and a saint
Dm G C G Dm
I'm loved, reviled, misunderstood, I'm a hope in a hopeless place
[Chorus]
G Dm
Hel- lo, my name is coal, and a- round here I'm the king
G Dm Am
Some say I'm a savior, some say death is what I bring
Dm G
I've broke miner's backs and hearts and I've wrestled for their souls
Dm G C G Dm Dm
Let me intro- duce myself, hel- lo, my name is coal
[Inst]
F G Dm Dm
Dm G
Some men call me 'black gold', you might have heard of me
Dm C G
My body is the mountain, my breath is kerosene
Dm G
You might think I'm out of date, but if I'm out of style and old
Dm G C G Dm
And why do men still dig me all a- round the globe?
[Chorus]
G Dm
Hel- lo, my name is coal, and a- round here I'm the queen
G Dm Am
Some say I'm cheap and easy, oh but, they still bow to me
Dm G
Be careful, I'll break up your home and I'll steal away your soul
Dm G C G Dm Dm
It's dangerous to lust for me, hel- lo, my name is coal
[Inst]
F F G G
Dm G
They curse me now for what I am, but not that long ago
Dm G C G Dm Dm
They sang my praises everywhere, hello my name is coal
[Outro]
