Loretta Lynn - Coal Miners Daughter Chords

C                 F            C
Well I was born a coal miner's daughter

                D7              G7
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler

        C
We were poor but we had love

           F                         C
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of

                    G7                C
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar


                    F                   C
My daddy worked all night in the family coal mine

                    D7            G7
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn

      C
Mommy rocked the babies at night

         F                     C
Read the Bible by the coal oil light

                               G7                 C
And everything would start all over come break of morn'

 
                             F                 C
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay

                                D7              G7
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day

     C
I've seen her fingers bleed

      F                  C
To complain there was no need

                       G7            C
She'd smile in Mommy's understanding way


                     F                    C
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear

                            D7                  G7
But in the winter time we'd all get a brand new pair

       C
From a mail order catalog

      F                   C
Money made from sellin' a hog

                        G7            C
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere

 
                       F            C
Yeah I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter

                    D7                G7
I remember well the well where I drew water

    C
The work we done was hard

              F                    C
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired

                    G7                 C
I never thought I'd ever leave Butcher Holler


                          F                      C
Well a lot of things have changed since way back then

                       D7         G7
And it's so good to be back home again

C
Not much left but the floor

        F             C
Nothing lives here anymore

                   G7           C
Just a memory of a coal miner's daughter
