Key: E
Introduction:
E A E
Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin?
Bm7
He invited me diggin?, so I picked up my screen
E A E
And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine
E A E
He traded me fair for a bottle of wine
A Bm7 E
His brother?s Barnes Mountain wine
E A E
We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside
Bm7
Took a ridge for a while, then we slowly went down
E A E
To an overhang hid from the ridgeline
E A E
We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground
A Bm7 E
The dark and bloody ground
E A E
Was a bitch to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
Bm7
The moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
E A E
'Cause you can?t hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
E A E
Got to find your fire in the company of corn
E A E
We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes
Bm7
Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone
E A E
Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was sifting
E A E
Shook the hills like the angels were callin? us home
A Bm7 E
Jesse, Zachary come home
E A E
It was banded as hell, it was fluted and clovis
Bm7
It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side
E A E
I was fiending so fierce, I was broke ass and busted
E Bm7 E A Bm7 E(walk A
I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse?s life
A E
A clovis like that is a hard point to find
E Bm7
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
E A E
Left over for burn on whatever meanness
E A E
Whatever woman is comin' my way
A Bm7 E
Darlin' come my way
E A E
I sit in this cell for the banded clovis
Bm7
I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day
E A E
I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder
E Bm7 E A Bm7 E
Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
