[Verse 1]
C Am
They sell their lies by the bottle
C Am
Without an ounce of shame
F C
A promise on a slip of paper
E7 Am
Guaranteed to dull the pain
[Verse 2]
F C
We dug that mine a mile below us
F C E7
And built up this little town
F C E7
Oh and we're still digging holes
Am
But these are six feet down
[Chorus]
C F
There's coal under the mountains
C G E
And gold in them there pills
F C E7
If living here don't kill you
Am
The medicine will
[Verse 3]
C Am
Well these are good God-fearing people
C Am
Just doing the best they can
F C
And if the devil's in the details
E7 Am
Then hell's in milligrams
[Verse 4]
F G C
For every family visitation
F C E7
Sons and daughters gone too soon
F C
The drugstore and the undertaker
E7 Am
The only businesses that boom
[Chorus]

There's coal under the mountains
C G E
And gold in them there pills
F C E7
If living here don't kill you
Am
The medicine will
[Solo]

[Bridge]
C Am
Now it's all broken dreams and plywood
C Am
Up and down these haunted streets
F C
Even the bar where we all used to go
E7 Am
I guess even whiskey can't compete
[Pre Chorus]
F C
But I believe way down below us
F C E7
Deeper than that mine shaft runs
F C
There's a place for those who did this to us
E E7 Am G
And it's hotter than the sun
[Chorus]
C F
There's coal under the mountains
C G E
And gold in them there pills
F C E7
If living here don't kill you
Am
The medicine will
