Key of Eb, capo 1, play in D D / G / Bm / A D G Bm A Lydie lit a cigarette today D G Bm A Ancient fumbling fingers in her way G Bm A G From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin Bm A G Closed her eyes and let the memories in. She lives in the old place all alone, Keeps in touch with neighbors by the phone Grows roses on the graves of her firstborn and his father And the coal trucks never bother her [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/slaid-cleaves/252054.html ] D Bm A G Oh Lydie, let him go the boy is gone Bm A G Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms D Bm A G Oh Lydia your tears are heaven’s rain Bm A G But she never was the same A cotton dress and satin shoes Indian summer sun, dressed in amber hues Spending time with a coal miner’s son To an old time fiddle tune The months went by just like a breeze that year, They wed in June, and by the fall the boy was here Word come down from Big Stone, there’s a fire in the mine And eleven men they couldn’t find Chorus Break She watched them pull him from the hole, The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke, Lydie twice had had this dream and twice it had come true And when she saw his father’s boots she knew.
