(Verse 1)
Daddy (Dm)worked like a (F)mule mining (C)Pike County (Dm)coal
He (Dm)f**ked up his (F)back, he couldn't (C)work any-(Dm)more
He said (F)one of these (C)days you'll get (G)out of these (Dm)hills
Keep your (F)nose on the (C)grindstone and (G)out of the pills
|(Dm) / / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) /
 
(Verse 2)
See the (Dm)ways of this (F)world will just (C)bring you to (Dm)tears
Keep the (Dm)Lord in your (F)heart, you'll have (C)nothing to (Dm)fear
Live the (F)best that you (C)can and don't (G)lie and don’t (Dm) steal
Keep your (F)nose on the (C)grindstone and (G)out of the pills
|(Dm) / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) / /
 
(Chorus)
Well (F)daddy I've been (C)trying, I just (G)can't catch a break
There's too (F)much in this (C)world that I (G)can't seem to (Dm/A)shake
 / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) / / |(Dm) /
But I re-(F)member your (G)words Lord, they bring me to (Dm)chills
Keep your (F)nose on the (C)grindstone and (G)out of the pills (Dm) / / |

(Verse 3)
Keep in mind that a (F)man's just as (C)good as his (Dm)word
It takes twice as (F)long to build (C)bridges you (Dm)burn
And there is (F)hurt you can (C)cause time a-(G)lone cannot (Dm)heal
Keep your (F)nose on the (C)grindstone and (G)out of the pills
