[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.

[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
