(verse)
           D
Behind the tar paper shack back in the holler,
    G
Old man shuckin' corn and coilin' copper,
     D 
He's about the only business in town,
           G
That ain't been boughted up 'fore the bank shut down.
   A
At first glance, you might think times are hard


(chorus)
               D           C           G
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
                 D        C        G
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
              C       G             D
You can't see nothing but a big old black
                G
Cloud up in the sky
           G                   D 
And if the good Lord don't see fit
                 G                 D 
To send a little sun down on these pines
       C     G
That's fine
                          D     G,  D  G
Old Leonard gonna make us shine


    D
Way back and before these mines were tapped
         G
He had a bigger dot there on the map
    D
Who knows, it might get better again
        G
And who cares that train ain't rollin' in
A
   Look beyond, they're comin' 'round the mountain




(chorus)
               D           C           G
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
                 D        C        G
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
              C       G             D
You can't see nothing but a big old black
                G
Cloud up in the sky
           G                   D 
And if the good Lord don't see fit
                 G                 D 
To send a little sun down on these pines
       C     G
That's fine
                          D     G
Old Leonard gonna make us shine
                   D       G
He's gonna make us shine
               D           C           G
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
                 D        C        G
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
              C       G             D
You can't see nothing but a big old black
                G
Cloud up in the sky
           G                   D 
And if the good Lord don't see fit
                 G                 D 
To send a little sun down on these pines
       C                     G
That's fine, that'll be just fine
                          D          G, D  G
Old Leonard gonna make us...  shine.
