[Intro] Am G F Am [Verse] Am G I've been going like a quarry slave at night F C All busted down and burning for my bed Am I've been thinking about a G woman in a wild Kentucky town F C Where the mountains are high near Harlan, G F G where the whirlpools twirl on down F C G where my secret can be found C G F In the dark and bloody ground... [Verse] Am Oh how I missed you G Oh how I've cried F C I'd like to lay down by my side G Am Love you just once before I die G F C And I'd be gentle, and I'd never hurt you Em7 E7 Am And God might send a moonbeam G F C Lay us down in pleasant dreams F C G Whatsoever things are lovely F C G Whatsoever things are true C G Am Whatsoever things are kind and G F pure thank you, these things... Am G And God might send down a moonbeam F And lay us down in pleasant dreams. [Instrumental] C G Am F C G Am F [Verse] C G Dewy was my best friend, he was tall Am F Stood six foot nine against the wall C G We both loved the same girl, but Dewy he went bad Am F G And I guess you could say it made one mad Am G He didn't have to do those awful things to you F C Yeah Dewy really made me sick Am G But I guess it takes two heels to click Am I took my nine pound hammer, G C swung it hard and swung it round Am G I kicked him in the temple, watched him C F fall to the ground wooaaahhhh Am F C My blade found its mark in the dark, G and that blood flowed in the sand F C G From that tall Kentucky man Am G Oh hell hath no fury like the blues F G When a man's got on his killing shoes A G F G In the dark and bloody ground C G F G In the dark and bloody ground A G F G In the dark and bloody ground C F In the dark and bloody ground
