Black Lung Ukulele tab

	  Intro: D5 

 
D5 
Sunrise lighting up the ridge tops 
D5 
Slicing through the frost like a red hot knife 
D5 
Sometimes I'm dreaming I'm a running across 
D5 
But I couldn't now to save my life 
D5 
Hound dog, yipping in the holler 
D5 
Must have jumped a bear bubba brother, listen to him run 
D5 
Somebody oughta catch him by the collar 
D5 
But I ain't going nowhere 'cause I'm down with black lung 



D5 
Black lung never gets better 
D5 
Every breath a little bit harder to draw 
D5 
Shotgun loaded in the corner 
D5 
Reckon I'mma lay here and die of black lung

It seemed like it was only yesterday 
D5                D5/A         D5       D5/A    D5/C 
I pulled my first shift down a longwall mine 
D5    D5/A      D5               D5/A 
First breath of fresh air at the whistle 
D5            D5/A             D5       D5/A    D5/C 
And I already knew it's just a matter of time 
D5     D5/A  D5             D5/A 
If I'd never been down in a coal mine 
D5             D5/A              D5            D5/A    D5/C 
I'd live a lot longer, hell that ain't a close call 
D5  D5/A   D5                   D5/A 
But then again I'd've never had anything 
    D5             D5/A        D5         D5/A    D5/C 
And half a life is better than nothing at all 



D5    D5/A D5         D5/A 
Black lung never gets better 
D5             D5/A       D5        D5/A    D5/C 
Every breath a little bit harder to draw 
D5  D5/A D5           D5/A 
Shotgun loaded in the corner 
D5           D5/A         D5           D5/A    D5/C 
Reckon I'm a lie here and die of black lung 


D5    D5/A D5         D5/A 
Black lung never gets better 
D5             D5/A       D5        D5/A    D5/C 
Every breath a little bit harder to draw 
D5  D5/A D5           D5/A 
Shotgun loaded in the corner 
D5           D5/A         D5           D5/A    D5/C 
Reckon I'm a lie here and die of black lung
