Coal Tattoo Kathy Mattea
Billy Edd Wheeler Writer Kathy Mattea
[Am]Travelinâ?? on down the[F] coal town road
Well somebody said thatâ??s a strange tattoo
Someday when Iâ??m dead and gone
[G]Listeninâ?? to my rubber ti[Am]res whine
You have on the side of your head
To heaven the land of my dreams
[Am]Goodbye to Buckeye, W[F]hite Sycamore
I said, thatâ??s a blue mark left by the coal
I wonâ??t have to worry about losing my job
[G]I leaving you beh[Am]ind
Little more and Iâ??d been dead.
To bad time and big machines
[F]Oh, Iâ??ve been a coal mine[G]r all my life
I love the rumble, I love the dark
Oh! I got no house Lord I got no job
[F]Laying down track in a[G] hole
Lord, I love the cool of the slate
Just got a worried soul
[Am]Got a back like ironwood, bent by the[F] wind
But itâ??s going down that new road lookinâ?? for a job
And a blue tattoo on the side of my head
[G]Blood veins as bl[Am]ue as the coal
Travelinâ?? and lookinâ?? I hate
Left by that number 9 coal
[G]Blood veins as b[Am]lue as the coal
Travelinâ?? and lookinâ?? I hate
Left by that number 9 coal
Left by that number 9 coal
