Give My Love To Marie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm a [G]black lung miner
from [C]East Tenness[G]ee
Raised my family on cold
dust and [D]beans[G]
That old black lung's got me
no [C]life left in [Em]me[Am]
Hang [G]the lantern in [Am]the window
give my [C]love [G]to Marie
For twenty- five years I've [C]worked
[D]in [G]the mines
Where the earth is as black as
a cold winters [D]night

[Verse 2]
[D]
There's a [G]million in the ground
not [C]a penny for [Em]me[Am]
Hang [G]the latern in the [Am]win dow
give my [C]love [G]to Marie
I've loved all my [C]children six sons of [G]mine
I pray that they never must
work in [D]the mine
For the [G]black lung will get [Am]them
[G]they'll [C]die just like [Em]me[Am]
Hang [G]the latern in the [Am]window
give my [C]love to Marie
[G]SOLO

[Verse 3]
There's frost on the [G]ground
[C]ice in the[G] trees
The air is so heavy I can't
hardly [D]breathe
Oh the [G]old black lung's got me
and [C]soon I'll be [Em]free[Am]
Hang [G]my latern in the [Am]win dow
give my [C]love to Mar[G]ie
Hang my latern in the [Am]win
dow give my [C]love [G]to Marie
