Coal Tattoo Kathy Mattea
Billy Edd Wheeler Writer Kathy Mattea
[Am]Travelin’ on down the c[F]oal town road
Well somebody said that’s a strange tattoo
Someday when I’m dead and gone
[G]Listenin’ to my rubber tire[Am]s 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, that’s a blue mark left by the coal
I won’t have to worry about losing my job
[G]I leaving you beh[Am]ind
Little more and I’d been dead.
To bad time and big machines

[F]Oh, I’ve been a coal miner [G]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 it’s going down that new road lookin’ for a job
And a blue tattoo on the side of my head
[G]Blood veins as bl[Am]ue as the coal
Travelin’ and lookin’ I hate
Left by that number 9 coal
[G]Blood veins as b[Am]lue as the coal
Travelin’ and lookin’ I hate
Left by that number 9 coal
Left by that number 9 coal
