Lyrics and Chords


[ Bm* =  ]

[Capo 2]

Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wond'ring since the age of two
Down on Copperline

/ D Bm* D Bm* / D Bm* G A7 / 1st / Em D/F# G - /

Copperhead, copper beech
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper coil, cup o' Georgia peach
Down on Copperline

... / Em D/F# G A /

   Half a mile down to Morgan Creek,
   Leaning heavy on the end of the week
   Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
   Down on the Copperline, we were down on Copperline.

   / Bm - D/F# G / Em D/F# G A / Bm - D/F# G /
      / Em D/F# G - - - - - / D Bm* D Bm* /

Warm summer night on the Copperline
Slip away past suppertime
Wood smoke and moonshine
Down on Copperline

One time I saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in France
Down to the Copperline

   Branch water and tomato wine
   Creosote and turpentine
   Sour Mash and New Moonshine
   Down on Copperline, down on Copperline

First kiss I ever took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline

... / D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* /

   Took a fall from a windy height
   I only knew how to hold on tight
   And pray for love enough to last all night
   Down on Copperline

Day breaks and the boy wakes up
And the dog barks and the bird sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh

/ D6 - / / D6 - A7 - /

I tried to go back as if I could
All-spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good
Down on Copperline

It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
Down on Copperline

   Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
   Leaning heavy on the end of the week
   Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
   Down on the Copperline
   Take me down on Copperline

Take me down on Copperline
Oh down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
