Mother Of A Miner's Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
She [G]is[F][C][G]
[D]my flo[G]wer,
and she blooms for the [C]one
[Am]who loves her [G]best
The [C]miners stop to [D]watch
her when she [G]walks
They [D]know her love is not for sale,
[C]she will never fail me,
cause I [G]know I watched [Em]a girl,
the [C]mother of [Am]a minor's child,
[C]Waits for me be[D]side the kitchen [G]door.[D]
She is my [G]light,
in this place where the
[C]darkness never end[G]s.
She'll [C]guide me where the
[D]tunnels twist and [G]bend.
She's the [D]only one who'll listen
When I [C]tell her I've got
less than I can [G]spend
She knows [Em]the pays
Oh, [C]mother of a [Am]miner's child
[C]Wash away [D]the coal dust from
my [G]face[F][C][G]
[D]
When the night shift's [G]done,
she'll be waiting by the [C]table when I come
[G]Searching[C] for anoth[D]er
dream [G]to change
Oh, [D]mother of a miner's child,
I [C]know that you still think about the day
[G]when we'll be movin' on[Em]
Remember[C], dear old d[Am]addy,
and the [C]promise that I [D]made
you carry [G]on[D]
Sometimes I [G]smile in the caves
where the [C]cables softly hum
[G]I cur[C]se those tro[D]ubles to the bon[G]e
But the [D]mother of a miner's child
is [C]waiting for her paycheck to come [G]home
I'm [Em]a Saturday,
and [C]he's just a [Am]miner's boy.
I [C]hope that he will [D]find a better [G]way.
