fear.

And that woman in the kitchen she keeps on cookin' but she ain't had meat in years
Em G D A A7
Just live off bread and live off hope and a pool of a million tears.
Em G D A A7
Now lemme tell you somethin' 'bout the Gospel and make sure that you mark it down
Em G D A A7
When God spoke out "Let there be light" he put the first of us in the ground.
Em G D A A7
And we'll keep on diggin' 'til the comin' of the lord and Gabriel's trumpet sound
Em G D A A7
'Cause if you ain't minin' for the company boy then there ain't much in this town.

Em G D A A7
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.

Em G D A A7
And in my darkest hour, I cry out to the lord.
Em G D A A7
He says keep on 'a minin' boy cause that's why you were born.
Em G D
We coulda made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'd listened to the folks that
A A7
knew
Em G D A A7
That co------ooooo------oal's gonna bury you.
