Dm
If you've read King Coal's ledger book
            G              A7
Then you've seen my family name

   Dm             F       Dm     F
It used to take a camp of miners
   Dm
To load that train and gone
            N.C.
Now there's four in my crew and we do what we do
   A7                     Dm
To keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Fm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm  F  Dm
We'll keep your dirty lights on

Dm  F  Dm


[Verse 2]
     Dm
Well Daddy worked in darkness
Dm
Me in broad daylight
      Dm
I can blow a whole seam like daddy never dreamed
      G           A7
Using Nobel's dynamite

   Dm              F             Dm         F
As long as there's coal in these mountains
      Dm
We're gonna burn up it till it's gone
Dm
We can't stop blowing mountain tops
            A7                     Dm
We've gotta keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm
We'll keep your dirty lights on

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Every time they have elections
N.C.
They talk about coal is clean
N.C.
Well coal is cheap but coal's still black
N.C.
It ain't never turning green

   Dm         F           Dm   F
So plug your electric car in
Dm
Charge it good and strong
        N.C.
Do your shopping online we'll get you every time
     A7                     Dm
Just keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
G
Keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall
      A7                     Dm
We'll keep your dirty lights on


[Chorus]
      G
Yeah, keep your dirty lights on
Dm        F            Dm
Keep your dirty lights on
              N.C.
If you've got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall

F  Dm  F  Dm

            A7                     Dm  F  Dm
We're gonna keep your dirty lights on
