Blue Field

(início)

C                                                     Am
In the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand stills
         G7                F                   C
And they found the biggest one outside of Blue Field
                                                      Am
A little peaceful country town nothin' else for miles around
      G7               F                  C
I saw whiskey run like water down through Blue Field
           F               G7           C
My trouble started on that Tuesday afternoon
            F               G7               C
The sheriff told me federal men will be here soon
              F              G7            C                     Am
He said we've come up with a plan to catch Blue Field's slickest man
       G7              F                  C
And we will as sure as I'm the sheriff of Blue Field
     F               G7             C
On a Wednesday I had ninety jars to cap
       F                    G7              C
Didn't think they'd had the time to set the trap
       F               G7          C               Am
In the brush I heard a sound and I swiftly hit the ground
    G7                    F                  C
One live shot might send ‘em runnin' back to Blue Field
                                                Am
Not a soul suspected me I was the sheriff's deputy
          G7              F               C
I'll make whiskey but God knows I'd never killed
                                                      Am
I didn't know he was that close when I let my shotgun go
      G7                F                     C
But I found I killed my friend the sheriff of Blue Field
  F             G7                     C
I recall how my mama and my girlfriend cried
          F                G7              C
When they left with me for Roanoke for the trial
        F                  G7            C            Am
It's my last night in this cell the last story I will tell
        G7               F              C
While I sit on death row dreamin' about Blue Field
Am         G7            C
Blue Field Blue Field oh Blue Field
