[Intro 1]
[C][G][D]
[C][G][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I bought a house
at the [C]mouth of the holler
A [G]ring at the pawn shop
and a [F]crib for the [D]kid
[D]I heard some word,
there was [C]work up in Hindman
I'm [G]going tomorrow
and [F]hope that there [D]is

[Verse 2]
My [D]sweat and my wages
they [C]don't seem to weight out
I'm [G]gettin' more aches
than I'm [F]gainin' in [D]gold
[D]Whoever said you could [C]raise you a family
Just [G]workin' your ass off
[F]knee deep in [D]coal?

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D]
[C][G][D][D]

[Verse 3]
Well, the [D]sign at the church says
"I'll [C]reap what I'm sowin'"
But [G]I ain't lost sleep,
it'll [F]come in due [D]time
And if the [D]Lord wants to take me,
I'm [C]here for the taking
'Cause [G]Hell's probably better
than [F]tryin' to get [D]by

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D]
[C][G][D][D]

[Verse 4]
You can [D]see me on the front page
It'll [C]be out tomorrow
A [G]boy in his 20s,
shot [F]down in his [D]prime
For [D]trying to hold up the [C]Texaco station
They'll [G]say I was desperate
They're [F]probably [D]right

[Outro 1]
[C][G][D]
[C][G][D]
