Blue Field

C                              
In the West Virginia hills there 
                       Am
must be ten thousand stills

         G7                F 
And they found the biggest one 
                  C
outside of Blue Field

A little peaceful country town 
                       Am
nothin' else for miles around

      G7               F          
I saw whiskey run like water down 
        C
through Blue Field


           F               G7     
My trouble started on that Tuesday
      C
 afternoon

            F               G7    
The sheriff told me federal men 
           C
will be here soon

              F              G7   
He said we've come up with a plan 
         C                     Am
to catch Blue Field's slickest man

       G7              F     
And we will as sure as I'm the 
             C
sheriff of Blue Field


     F               G7           
On a Wednesday I had ninety jars 
  C
to cap

       F                    G7    
Didn't think they'd had the time 
          C
to set the trap

       F               G7          
In the brush I heard a sound and I 
C               Am
swiftly hit the ground

    G7                    F       
One live shot might send ‘em 
           C
runnin' back to Blue Field


Not a soul suspected me I was the 
              Am
sheriff's deputy

          G7              F       
I'll make whiskey but God knows 
        C
I'd never killed

I didn't know he was that close when
                  Am
 I let my shotgun go

      G7                F         
But I found I killed my friend the
            C
 sheriff of Blue Field


  F             G7        
I recall how my mama and my 
             C
girlfriend cried

          F                G7     
When they left with me for Roanoke
         C
 for the trial

        F                  G7     
It's my last night in this cell 
       C            Am
the last story I will tell

        G7               F        
While I sit on death row dreamin' 
      C
about Blue Field

Am         G7            C
Blue Field Blue Field oh Blue Field
