[Verse 1]
E A E
Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin'
He invited me diggin',
B7
so I picked up my screen
E A E
And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine
B7 E
Traded me fair for a bottle of wine
A B7 E
His brother's Barnes Mountain wine
[Verse 2]
E A E
We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside
Took a ridge for a while,
B7
then we slowly went down
E A E
To an overhang hid from the ridgeline
B7 E
We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground
A B7 E
The dark and bloody ground
[Break]

[Verse 3]
E A E
Was a bitch to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
B7
Moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
E A E
'Cause you can't hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
B7 E
Got to find your fire in the company of corn
[Break]

[Verse 4]
E A E
We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes
B7
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
B7 E
Shook the hills like the angels were callin' us home
A B7 E
Jesse, Zachary come home
[Verse 5]
E
It was banded as hell,
A E
it was fluted and Clovis
B7
It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side
E
And I was fiending so fierce,
A E
I was broke ass and busted
B7 E
I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse's life
A B7 E
[Verse 6]
A E B7
Clovis like that is a hard point to find
E B7
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
E A E
Left over for burn on whatever meanness
B7 E
Whatever woman is comin' my way
A B7 E
Darlin' come my way
[Break]

[Verse 7]
E A E
I sit in this cell for the banded Clovis
B7
I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day
E A E
I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder
B7
Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
E A B7 E
