D Bm D Bm D Bm Gadd9 A7ss4

Even the old folks never knew why they call it like they do

D Bm D Bm Em D/F#

I was wond'ring since the age of two down on Copperline

D Bm D Bm D D/F# G A7ss4

Copper head copper beech copper kettles sitting side by each

D Bm D Bm Em D/F# G A

Copper coil, cup o' Georgia peach, down on Copperline

Bm* D/F# G

Half a mile down to Morgan Creek,

Em D/F# G A

Leaning heavy on the end of the week

Bm* D/F# G

Hercules and a hog-nosed snake **This is a little step-down

Em D/F# G /E/F# /G /A D Bm

Down on the Copperline, we were down on Copperline.

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 unto 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

*** Instrumental break

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

>>>BRIDGE

D6/G

Day breaks and the boy wakes up

(D6/G)

And the dog barks and the bird sings

(D6/G) A7ss4

And the sap rises and the angels sigh....Yeah

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.

>>CODA

(G) /E /F# /G /A D Bm D Bm

..... Yeah .... Take me down on Copperline

D Bm G A7ss4 D Bm D Bm

... Oh down on Copperline

D Bm G A7ss4 D Bm.....

... Take me down on Copperline.....
