Coal by Dylan Gossett
Tuning: Standard (Capo 4th fret)
         Am          Gadd11            F
Well, I remember what you told me, said that drinking was unholy
   Am        Gadd11         F
So Lord, can you point me to the creek?
     Am     Gadd11           F
And I still keep it with me, tucked under all the memories
     Am     Gadd11             F
Your voice echoing throughout those trees

Am, Gadd11, F… Am, Gadd1, F…

           Am      Gadd11      F
And through unfavored weather, and holes in the leather
      Am     Gadd11   F
These boots still covered in tar
             Am       Gadd11       F
Well, I'm still praying to the heavens, and hoping for them seven's
    Am    Gadd11       F
But hope only gets a man so far

🎸 Chorus:
Am      Gadd11      F                Am     Gadd11       F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart, and… love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
         Am  Gadd11     F
And… I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
         Am…       Gadd11…       F…
They say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?

Am, Gadd11, F… Am, Gadd1, F…

             Am        Gadd11        F
Now I've seen Heaven without dyin', met the devil without tryin'
         Am      Gadd11        F
And they both seem to want to talk to me
      Am    Gadd11            F
But I'm all out of luck now, and my dreams aren't worth a buck now
    Am       Gadd11      F
It's tough tryin' to land on my feet

🎸 Chorus:
Am      Gadd11      F                Am     Gadd11       F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart, and… love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
         Am  Gadd11     F
And… I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
         Am…       Gadd11…       F…
They say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?

🎸 Bridge:
F-F-F-F-F (stop)
         Am       Gadd11          F
And every day is gettin' colder, since that day in October
         Am       Gadd11    F
When you told me it was over, so I left
            Am        Gadd11            F
'Cause if you need me, well, I told ya, I'm on the better side of sober
        Am…       Gadd11…      F…
Tryin' to find a four-leaf clover, to get me out of this mess

🎸 Chorus:
Am…    Gadd11…   F…              Am…   Gadd11…     F…
This game of life plays heavy on my heart, and… love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
        Am… Gadd11…   F…
And… I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
         Am…       Gadd11…       F-F-F-F-F
They say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell?

They say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?
