Gordon Lightfoot - Mother Of A Miner's Child
CAPO: 2nd Fret
G
[INTRO:]
[VERSE 1:]
She is my flower
C G
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
C D G
The miners stop to watch her when she walks
D C
They know her love is not for sale
G D/F#
She will never fail me 'cause I know
Em
I watched her grow
C Am
The mother of a miner's child
C D G D
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
[VERSE 2:]
G
She is my light
C G
In this place where the darkness never ends
C D G
She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend
D C
She's the only one who listens when I tell her
G D/F#
I got less than I can spend
Em
She knows the pace
C Am
Oh, mother of a miner's child
C D G F C G
Wash away the coal dust from my face
[VERSE 3:]
When the night shift's done
C G
She'll be waiting by the table when I come
C D G
Searching for another dream to chase
D
Oh, mother of a miner's child
C G
I know that you still think about the day
D/F# Em
When we'll be moving on
C Am
Remember dear old daddy and
C D G D
The promise that I made to carry on
[VERSE 4:]
G
Sometimes I smile
C G
In the cage where the cables softly hum
C D G
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone
D
But the mother of a miner's child
C G D/F#
Is waiting for her pay-check to come home
Em
Come Saturday
C Am
And he is just a miner's boy
C D G F C G
I hope that he will find a better way
[VERSE 5:]
She is my flower
C G
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
C D G
The miners stop to watch her when she walks
D C
They know her love is not for sale
G D/F#
She will never fail me 'cause I know
Em
I watched her grow
C Am
The mother of a miner's child
C D G F C G
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
