[G] [C] [G]
I'm a black lung miner from East Tennessee
[G]Raised my family on cold dust and [D]beans
[G]That old black lung's got me no [C]life left in[Em] me[Am]
Hang the [G]lantern in the [Am]window give my [C]love to [G]Marie
[G] [C] [G]
For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines
[G] [D]
Where the earth is as black as a cold winters night
[G] [C] [Em] [Am]
There's a million in the ground not a penny for me
[G] [Am] [C] [G]
Hang the latern in the window give my love to Marie
[G] [C] [G]
I've loved all my children six sons of mine
[G] [D]
I pray that they never must work in the mine
[G] [C] [Em] [Am]
For the black lung will get them they'll die just like me
Hang the [G]latern in the [Am]window give my [C]love to [G]Marie
SOLO
[G] [C] [G]
There's frost on the ground ice in the trees
[G]The air is so heavy I can't hardly [D]breathe
[G] [C] [Em] [Am]
Oh the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free
[G] [Am] [C] [G]
Hang my latern in the window give my love to Marie
[G] [Am] [C] [G]
Hang my latern in the window give my love to Marie
