(Intro)
Dm (Hammering on and off the 2nd fret B chord)
(Verse 1)
DmFCDm
Daddy worked like a mule mining pike county coal
DmFCDm
He fucked up his back he couldn't work anymore
FCGDm
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
FCGDm
Keep your nose on the grind stone and out of the pills
(Verse 2)
DmFCDm
See the ways of this world just to bring you to tears
DmFCDm
Keep the lord in your heart you'll have nothing to fear
FCGDm
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steel
FCGDm
Keep your nose on the grind stone and out of the pills
(Chorus)
FCG
Well daddy I've been trying i just can't catch a break
FCGDm
Theirs too much in this world that i can't seem to shake
FCGDm
But i remember your words lord they bring me to chills
FCGDm
Keep your nose on the grind stone and out of the pills
(play the Verse without words one time)
(Verse 3)
DmFCDm
Keep in mind that a mans just as good as his word
DmFCDm
It takes twice as long to build bridges you burn
DmFCGDm
And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
FCGDm
Keep your nose on the grind stone and out of the pills
(Chorus)
FCGDm
Keep your nose on the grind stone...
