[Verse 1]
D
Even the old folks never knew
G A
Why they call it like they do
D
I was wondering since the age of two
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
D
Copper head, copper beech
G A
Copper kettles sitting side by each
D
Copper coil, cup o'Georgia peach
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G A
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 hognosed snake
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
We were down on Copperline
[Verse 2]
D D
One Summer night on the Copperline
G A
Slip away past supper time
D
Wood smoke and moonshine
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
D
One time I saw my Daddy dance
G A
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
D
He brought it back from the war in France
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G A
Down onto Copperline
Bm D/F# G
Branch water and tomato wine
Em D/F# G A
Creosote and turpentine
Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G
Sour mash and new moon shine Down on Copperline
D
Down on Copperline
[Verse 3]
D
First kiss ever I took
G A
Like a page from a romance book
D
The sky opened and the earth shook
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
[Solo]
D
Down on Copperline yeah
G A D Em D/F# G A
[Chorus]
Bm D/F# G
Took a fall from a windy height
Em D/F# G A
I only knew how to hold on tight
Bm D/F# G
And pray for love enough to last all night
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
[Bridge]
D
Day breaks and the boys wakes up
And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh,
yeah
[Verse 4]
D
I tried to go back, as if I could
G A
All spec house and plywood
D
Tore up and tore up good
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline
D
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
G A
It doesn't touch my memory
D
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
Em D/F# G A
Down on over Copperline
[Chorus]
Bm D/F# G
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
Em D/F# G A
I'm only living for the end of the week
Bm D/F# G
Hercules and a hognosed snake
Em D/F# G
Down on Copperline yeah
D
Take me down on Copperline
[Outro]
Em G D
Oh down on Copperline
Em G D Em G
Take me down on Copperline
