Johnny Cash - The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore: Guitar Chords

Em            D            Em
When I was a curly-headed baby
                 D           Em
My daddy set me down on his knee
                          D                   Em
Saying "Son you go to school, you learn your letters
           B                          Em
Don't you be no dusty miner, boy like me"

Chorus:
       D                                          Em
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
           D                                     Em
Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my door
                         D               Em
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties
            B                      Em
Because the L&N don't stop here anymore

I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
But now he goes to town with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow

Chorus

I never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust
I never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar
Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money
And those green backs would fill my pockets once more

Chorus

Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
To get my pay like a had done before
But the old kudzu vines were covering the door
And there were leaves and grass growing right up
through the floor

Chorus
