[Verse]
                   C#m7      
Even the old folks never knew
E                A    Bsus4  
Why they call it like they do
E                         C#m7      
I was wondering since the age of two
F#m     A         
Down on Copperline
E           C#m7        
Copper head copper beech
E                      A    Bsus4  
Copper kettles sitting side by each
E               C#m7           
Copper coil cup o'Georgia peach
F#m7    A          B
Down on Copperline ■


[Chorus]
C#m                 G#m    A    
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
F#m7             A              B   
Leaning heavy on the end of the week
C#m7           E        A    
Hercules and a hognosed snake
F#m7    Amaj7      A
Down on Copperline ■
                E          C#m E
We were down on Copperline ■   ■


[Verse]
                        C#m7      
One Summer night on the Copperline
E              A      B   
Slip away past supper time
E              C#m      
Wood smoke and moonshine
        A         
Down on Copperline
E                 C#m        
One time I saw my daddy dance
E                         A        Bsus4 
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
E                          C#m7         
He bought it back from the war in France
F#m7      Amaj7      B
Down onto Copperline ■


[Chorus]
C#m              E      A   
Branch water and tomato wine
F#m7         A          B
Creosote and turpentine ■
C#m           E        A    
Sour mash and new moon shine
F#m7    Amaj7      A
Down on Copperline ■
E       C#m7       E
Down on Copperline ■
           C#m7       
First kiss ever I took
                   A       Bsus4
Like a page from a romance book 
E                      C#m7       
The sky opened and the earth shook
        C#m7      
Down on Copperline

[Verse]
C#m                E     A     
Took a fall from a windy height
F#m7               A       B    
I only knew how to hold on tight
C#m                         E        A    
And pray for love enough to last all night
F#m7    A         
Down on Copperline
                   E           
Day breaks and the boy wakes up
        Amaj7 E                        
And the dog   barks and the birds sings
                                      Bsus4
And the sap rises and the angels sigh yeah 
E          C#m7                 
I tried to go back as if I could
E   C#m7           A      
All spec house and plywood
E    C#m7   E           
Tore up and tore up good
F#m     G#m7       A
Down on Copperline ■
E                                  
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
                    A     
It doesn't touch my memory
        E       C#m7   E          
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
F#m     G#m7       A
Down on Copperline ■


[Chorus]
C#m                 C#m7        
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
F#m7     G#m7           A              
I'm only living for the end of the week
C#m            E             
Hercules and a hognosed snake
F#m     E          A   
Down on Copperline yeah
        B       E          C#m7 E
