Cadd9
He packs his bucket on Monday morning
G
another long week down at the mines
D
and he ain't ready to go back to work
G
but he's on the companies time
Cadd9
he don't do it for the greed or pleasure
G
and he ain't chasing no pot of gold
D
he's in a whole in west Virginia
G
because he's got to little baby's at home
chorus
(stop) Cadd9
It's amazing what we'll do
G D
just to provide a home for our children
G
and try to give them a better life
Cadd9 Em
He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes
D
he's covered in coal in West Virginia
G
With his baby's on his mind
(Solo)
Cadd9
Come's home tired every day
G
Covered in sweat,tattoos,and scars
D G
But somehow he finds the energy to romp and play out in the yard
(stop) Cadd9
dodge ball,leap frog,and tag your it
G
loves the smiles the laughs and those giggle fits
D
come tonight he'll tuck them into bed
G
get up in the morning and start it all over again
Repeat chorus
Cadd9
Like his daddy and his daddy before him
G
He's doing all he has ever known
D
came back from the service
G
got a hat and a light and went straight under ground
Cadd9
each shift he works he ain't but six inches from hell
G
He seen a lot of good men give it all
D
and he draws his pay on Friday morning
G
he might stumble but he ain't gonna fall
Cadd9
It's amazing what we'll do
G D
just to provide a home for our children
G
and try to give them a better life
Cadd9 Em
He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes
D
he's covered in coal in West Virginia
G
With his baby's on his mind
D
