DBm
I'm goin up among the stars,
Bm
up in the westernhills,
DCB7
where the wolves are howlin' in the barn,
AB7
and the black elves never chill,
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 2]
DBm
Jocko hobo and mr seeds,
Bm
and our buddy old Zeke-Boone,
DCB7
they were drinkin at the honkin' duck,
AB7
they started round noon,
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 3]
DBm
"so many times", says Boon ive died,
Bm
"but I come back to life,
DCB7
to drink like elwood and wag my tail
AB7
and stick foes with my knife"
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 4]
DBm
they heard a flappin' at the back windows
Bm
and a wolverine walked in,
DCB7
with a long black cloak, that swept the floors
AB7
and a machine gun under the chair
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 5]
DBm
he says "I did not come to kill you all,
Bm
I only want Zeke-Boone,
DCB7
if you kindly get, up against the wall,
AB7
old Zeke be dyin' soon,"
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 6]
DBm
"before you shoot me mr wolverine
Bm

DCB7
I made this up on blueberry hill,
AB7
in the sweet of summertime"
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 7]
DBm
"indeed I will" says the wolverine,
Bm
"Ill have a pull of that wine",
DCB7
then a smile reached all across his teeth,
AB7
and his eyes begun to shine
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 8]

Bm
"I believe I see the light,
DCB7
all the time i thought Boone was wrong,
AB7

CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 9]

Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
[Verse 10]

"cause you aint no friend of mine"
[Chorus]
CB7D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law
