[Verse 1]

         D         Bm*       D    
         Even the old folks never 
 Bm*  D         Bm*     G        
knew  why they call it like they 
 A7sus4
do;
         D      Bm*               
          I was wond'ring since 
  D      Bm*   Em      D/F#     
the age of two,  down on 
G   A
Copperline.
         D       Bm*    D   
          Copper head,  copper 
    Bm*   D      D/F#            
beech, copper kettles sitting 
G       A7sus4
side by each -
         D       Bm*        
          Copper coil, cup o' 
  D       Bm*    Em      D/F#    
Georgia peach, down on 
 G A
Copperline.


[Chorus 1]

         Bm                   D/F#
          Half a mile down to 
   G      Em      D/F#         G
Morgan Creek, leaning heavy on 
          A
the end of the week.
         Bm              D/F#      
          Hercules and a hog-nosed 
G       Em          D/F#      G
snake - down on the Copperline,
                  G      
          We were down on 
 A      D  Bm*  D  Bm*  D  Bm* 
Copperline.
 D  Bm*



[Verse 2]

         D            Bm*          
          Warm summer night on the 
D      Bm*  D     Bm* 
Copperline, slip away past 
     G        A7sus4
suppertime.
         D      Bm*      D   Bm* 
          Wood smoke and 
  Em       D/F#     G   A
moonshine, down on Copperline.
         D           Bm*    D    
          One time I saw my daddy
   Bm*  D           D/F#          
 dance; watched him moving like a 
G        A7sus4
man in a trance.
Continúa después del anuncio
         D              Bm*       
          He brought it back from 
    D      Bm*     Em   
the war in France, down on 
       D/F#     G A
Copperline.


[Chorus 2]

         Bm                  D/F#  
          Branch water and tomato  
G     Em  D/F#     G     A
wine, creosote and turpentine,
         Bm             D/F#    G   
   Em      D/F#   G (tacet)
          Sour mash and new 
moonshine, down on Copperline;
                  G      
          We were down on 
 A      D  Bm*  D  Bm*  D  Bm* 
Copperline.
 D  Bm*



[Verse 3]

         D      Bm*  D      Bm*  
          First kiss ever I took,
D       Bm*         G       A7sus4
 like a page from a romance book;
         D        Bm*            
          The sky opened and the 
D     Bm*    Em      D/F#     G    A
earth shook, down on Copperline.


[Chorus 3]

         Bm                  D/F#  
          Took a fall from a windy 
G      Em      D/F#        G    
height; I only knew how to hold on 
   A
tight,
         Bm                         
  D/F#     G     Em      D/F#   G 
(tacet)
          And pray for love enough 
to last all night down on 
Copperline.


[Bridge]

          D6/G
          Day breaks and the boy 
wakes up, and the dog barks and the 
bird sings,
          (D6/G)                   
          And the sap rises, and 
         A7sus4      D  Bm*  D  
the angels sigh....Yeah
Bm*  D  Bm*  D  Bm*



[Verse 4]

         D           Bm*        D
          I tried to go back as 
     Bm*  D    Bm*           
if I could; all spec house and 
 G      A7sus4
plywood
         D    Bm*      D      
          Tore up, and tore up
Bm*   Em       D/F#  G   A
 good, down on Copperline.
         D           Bm*     
          It doesn't come as a 
     D        Bm*   D           
surprise to me;    it doesn't 
D/F#     G    A7sus4
touch my memory.
         D        Bm*            
          Man I'm lifting up and 
D      Bm*   Em      D/F#     G  A
rising free, down on Copperline.


[Chorus 4]

         Bm                   D/F#
          Half a mile down to 
   G      Em       D/F#           
Morgan Creek, I'm only livin' for 
G         A
the end of the week.
         Bm              D/F#      
          Hercules and a hog-nosed 
G       Em          D/F#      G
snake - down on the Copperline,
                  G      
          We were down on 
 A      D  Bm*  D  Bm*
Copperline.

                  G      
          Take me down on 
 A      D  Bm*  D  Bm*  D  Bm*  D
Copperline.
