notes
A D
Take the top off that mountain
E A
Strip it bare
Bring in the world’s biggest dozer
Scrape out all that’s there
Maybe a boulder smash your house
Maybe the sludge floods your land
Maybe your kids all get cancer
Maybe you just don’t understand
D
Gotta have coal
E
Keep the country burning
D A
Coal Fire up the night
D E
Coal, natural resources
D A
You keep talking wrong and right
Our lawyers get paid more than your lawyers
Don’t work half as hard
Oughta save your money
For cleaning up your yard
Chorus
E A D E
Business is business, Nothing more
D A D E
Nothing personal, No one keeping score
Chorus
Ain’t personal, so why you keeping score?
Reading Grisham’s fine muckraking novel “Gray Mountain” put me in a mood, and when I tried to go to bed this came to me almost complete.
