Kathy Mattea - Don’t Stop Here Anymore Chords

[Opening]
[D]
When I was a [C]curly headed [D]baby
My Daddy set me [C]down on his [D]knee
He said, “Go to [C]school and get your [D]letters
Don’t you [A7]be a dirty coal miner like [D]me”

[chorus]
I was [C]born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler
The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door
Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty
‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

[verse 2]
Well, I used to think my [C]daddy was a [D]black man
With script enough to [C]buy the company [D]store
Now he goes to [C]town with empty [D]pockets
And his [A7]face is white as a February [D]snow

[chorus]
I was [C]born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler
The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door
Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty
‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

[verse 3]
Well, I never thought I’d [C]learn to love the [D]coal dust
Never thought I’d pray to [C]hear that whistle [D]roar
Lord god, I wish the [C]grass would turn to [D]money
And those [A7]greenbacks fill my pockets up once [D]more

[chorus]
Yeah, I was [C]born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler
The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door
Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty
‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

[Closing]
Last night I dreamed I [C]went down to the [D]coal yard
To draw my pay like [C]I had done be[D]fore
Them Kudzu vines were [C]covering all the [D]windows
There were [A7]leaves and grass growing right up through the [D]floor

[chorus]
I was [C]born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler
The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door
Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty
‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more
