DmAshes to dust, from these coal mining F7Mblues F7M9 Em7

The man in the mirror, looks nothing like me

Just a wearing reminder of what I used to be

Sunken red eyes, lines in my face

This tired old man, has taken my place

Black on my hands, Black on my shoes

Black on my heart, from these coal mining blues

Black on my hands, Black on my shoes

Black on my heart, from these coal mining blues

Guitar solo

same as Intro

I can't fall asleep for the dreams that may come

Of when the walls cave in and the cold fills my lungs

If live is a blessing than please let it be

That someday Gods light will give these pour souls relief

I'm black on my hands, I'm black on my shoes

Black on my heart from these coal mining blues

I'm black on my hands, I'm black on my shoes

Ashes to dust, from these coal mining blues

Ashes to dust, from these coal mining blues

G* Hammer H and pulloff (P)on the E note 4th string then

some of the repeats in the chorus. If you ever get a chance to see Matt
