(Live)
Matt Andersen -Coal Mining Blues
Capo3
Intro: C, Em7 (quick), Am , Fmaj7 (quick), repeat
I s[C]pend all my days, going [Fmaj7]down to the [Am]mine
U[G]nder the ground, where the s[G]un never s[Fmaj7]hines[Em7]
I'm br[C]eaking my back, I put [Fmaj7]heat in your h[Am]ouse
I've got the r[G]oar of a lion, but the b[G]reath of a [Fmaj7]mouse
F G*
I'm black on my hands, I'm black on my shoes
B[Dm]lack on my heart from these coal mining [Fmaj7]blues
I'm [F]black on my hands, I'm black on my[G] shoes
Dm Fmaj7 Fmaj9 Em7*
Ashes to dust, from these coal mining blues
The man in the mirror, looks nothing like me
Just a wearing reminder of what I used to be
Sunken red eyes, lines in my face
This tired old man, has taken my place
Black on my hands, Black on my shoes
Black on my heart, from these coal mining blues
Black on my hands, Black on my shoes
Black on my heart, from these coal mining blues
Guitar Solo -same as Intro
I can't fall asleep for the dreams that may come
Of when the walls cave in and the cold fills my lungs
If live is a blessing than please let it be
That someday Gods light will give these pour souls relief
I'm black on my hands, I'm black on my shoes
Black on my heart from these coal mining blues
I'm black on my hands, I'm black on my shoes
Ashes to dust, from these coal mining blues
Ashes to dust, from these coal mining blues
G* Hammer (H) and pulloff (P)on the E note 4th string then
Hammer back on the B note 5th , Then H and P the C(2nd) and E(4th)
at the same time, back to G for final beat. Listen to a live version
There are a number of versions on line where he leaves out
some of the repeats in the chorus. If you ever get a chance to see Matt
live don't pass it up...he's mind blowing.
