I'm a black lung miner from East Tennessee
G                                 D   
Raised my family on cold dust and beans
G                               C           Em   Am          
That old black lung's got me no life left in me
         G              Am             C       G
Hang the lantern in the window give my love to Marie
G                         C              G

For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines
G                                             D

Where the earth is as black as a cold winters night

G                                     C        Em  Am

There's a million in the ground not a penny for me
          G            Am             C       G

Hang the latern in the window give my love to Marie
G                          C           G

I've loved all my children six sons of mine
G                                       D

I pray that they never must work in the mine
G                                        C             Em    Am

For the black lung will get them they'll die just like me
         G             Am             C       G
Hang the latern in the window give my love to Marie

SOLO
      
G                           C          G

There's frost on the ground ice in the trees
G                                  D 
The air is so heavy I can't hardly breathe
G                                  C            Em   Am

Oh the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free
         G             Am             C       G

Hang my  latern in the window give my love to Marie
         G             Am             C       G

Hang my  latern in the window give my love to Marie
