G C G
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

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
