She i_s my Gflower _ G
A_nd she Gblooms for the Cone who loves her Gbest _ G _
The Cminers stop to Dwatch her when she Gwa_-a_-a-alksG _
They Dknow her love is Dnot for sale
C She will neverC fail me 'cause IG know_
D/F# _ I watched her Emgrow _ Em _
The Cmother o_f a Amminer's c_hild
CWaits for m_e beDside the k_itchen Gdoor _ G _ D _ D
She i_s my Gli-i-ight _ G
I_n this Gplace where the Cdarkness never Gends _ G _
She'll Cguide me where the Dtunnels twist and Gbend_-e_n-en-endG _
She's the Donly one who Dlistens when I Ctell her

Oh, Cmother o_f a Amminer's c_hild
CWash aw_ay the Dcoal dust f_rom my face

Somet_imes I Gsmile _ G
I_n the Gcage where the Ccables softly Ghum _ G _
I'd Ccurse that old Dstraw boss to the Gbo_-o_-o-oneG _

I Chope that h_e will Dfind a b_etter way
