Dont Go Into That Barn

Am
(início)
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Am Don't go into that barn, yeah
Verse 1
Am Black cellophane sky at midnight Big blue moon with three gold rings I called Champion to the window And I pointed up above the trees Dm That's when I heard my name in a scream Coming from the woods out there I let my dog run off of the chain I locked my door real good with a chair
Chorus
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Am Don't go into that barn, yeah
Verse 2
Am Everett Lee broke loose again It's worse than the time before 'Cause he's high on potato and tulip wine Fermented in the muddy rain, of course Dm A drunken wail, a drunken train Blew through the birdless trees Am Oh, you're alone alright, you're alone alright How did I know? How did I know?
Chorus
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Am I said, don't go into that barn, yeah
Verse 3
Am An old black tree scratching up the sky With bony, claw-like fingers A rusty black rake digging up the turnips Of a muddy cold grey sky Dm Shiny tooth talons coiled for grabbing a stranger happening by Am And the day went home early And the sun sank down into the muck of a deep, dead sky
Chorus
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Dm I said, don't go into that barn, yeah
Verse 4
Am Back since Saginaw Calinda was born It's been cotton, soybeans, tobacco, and corn Behind the porticoed house of a long-dead farm They found the falling down timbers of a spooky old barn Dm Out there like a slave ship upside down Wrecked beneath the waves of grain Am When the river is low, they find old bones And when they plow they always dig up chains
Chorus
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Am I said, don't go into that barn, yeah
Bridge
Am Did you bury your fire? Yes sir Did you cover your tracks? Yes sir Did you bring your knife? Yes sir Did they see your face? No sir Dm Did the moon see you? No sir Did you go 'cross the river? Yes sir Am Did you fix your rake? Yes sir Did you stay downwind? Yes sir Em Did you hide your gun? Yes sir Did you smuggle your rum? Yes sir Am How did I know? How did I know? How did I know?
Outro
Em Don't go into that barn, yeah Am I said, don't go into that barn, yeah Dm Don't forget that I warned ya Em I said, don't go into that barn, yeah Am Don't go into that barn, yeah Em I said, don't go into that barn, yea

No shirt, no coat
Take me on a flat boat
Dover down to Covington
Covington to Louisville
Louisville to Henderson
Henderson to Smithland
Smithland to Memphis
Memphis down to Vicksburg
Vicksburg to Natchez
Going down to Natchez
Put me on a flat boat
Dover down to Covington
