    Some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues,
      G                                                                           D
     some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues.

             A                             A7               D
    Got coal in my hair, got coal in my shoes.

        D                                                                         D7
    These blues are so blue, they are the coal black blues,
       G                                                                         D

    For my place will cave in, and my life I will lose.

       D                                                               D7
    You say they are blues, these old miner's blues,
