Coal River
F5          A5          Eb5 
Many?s the times I?ve walked its banks
     C5                F5
With tearful pride and humble thanks
                 A5       Eb5
It?s baptized my soul and made me whole
C5                  F5
Freed my hands from dirty coal

Many small houses sit on its backs
Catalogues odf dreams and praire sof thanks
Washed my body and cleaneed my mind
It?s been cruel and it?s been kind

G5   C5     F5
Coal River, Coal River
G5   C5              F5
Coal River I?ve come home

I see my daddy all tired and worn
A gentleman, yet full of scorn
We sit on the front porch and watch it (?)
Dream of knowledge and talk of pain

But that old city got to big for me
Just like the river our love runs free
So here I am and here I?ll stay
I?ll just live my life from day to day on
Coal River, Coal River
