Coal River Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

FMany’s the Amtimes I’ve wD♯alked its banks

With C7tearful pride and Fhumble thanks

It’s baptized my Amsoul and D♯made me whole

C7Freed my hands from Fdirty coal

Many small houses sit on its backs

Catalogues odf dreams and praire sof thanks

Washed my body and cleaneed my mind

It’s been cruel and it’s been kind

GmCoal C7River, FCoal River

GmCoal C7River I’ve come Fhome

I see my daddy all tired and worn

A gentleman, yet full of scorn

We sit on the front porch and watch it (?)

Dream of knowledge and talk of pain

But that old city got to big for me

Just like the river our love runs free

So here I am and here I’ll stay

I’ll just live my life from day to day on

Coal River, Coal River
