D / G / Bm / A D G Bm A Lydie lit a cigarette today D G Bm A Ancient fumbling fingers in her way G Bm A G From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin Bm A G Closed her eyes and let the memories in. D G Bm A She lives in the old place all alone, D G Bm A Keeps in touch with neighbors by the phone G Bm A G Grows roses on the graves of her firstborn and his father Bm A G And the coal trucks never bother her Chorus D Bm A G Oh Lydie, let him go the boy is gone Bm A G Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms D Bm A G Oh Lydia your tears are heaven’s rain Bm A G But she never was the same D G Bm A A cotton dress and satin shoes D G Bm A Indian summer sun, dressed in amber hues G Bm A G Spending time with a coal miner’s son Bm A G To an old time fiddle tune D G Bm A The months went by just like a breeze that year, D G Bm A They wed in June, and by the fall the boy was here G Bm A G Word come down from Big Stone, there’s a fire in the mine Bm A G And eleven men they couldn’t find Chorus D Bm A G Oh Lydie, let him go the boy is gone Bm A G Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms D Bm A G Oh Lydia your tears are heaven’s rain Bm A G But she never was the same Break D G Bm A She watched them pull him from the hole, D G Bm A The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke, G Bm A G Lydie twice had had this dream and twice it had come true Bm A G And when she saw his father’s boots she knew. Chorus D Bm A G Oh Lydie, let him go the boy is gone Bm A G Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms D Bm A G Oh Lydia your tears are heaven’s rain Bm A G But she never was the same D G Bm A Lydie lit a cigarette today D G Bm A Ancient fumbling fingers in her way G Bm A G From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin Bm A G Closed her eyes and let the memories in.
