 Subject: Copperhead Road by Steve Earle
 Status:   
 In response to waltx4@eagle.ca inquirey , the artist is Steve Earle
 (Copperhead Road CD) and here's the song. I play it on my 12 string
 mostly. I think because of the drone it should be played in D.
 Well I've looked & looked, in my archive and can't find it. So here it
 is by memory. 
 Greg - Now it turns out that Kitch - Rumpole@mortimer.com has already
 submitted a tab version, but this version is probably worth submitting
 also as it is a good 2nd guitar to your current submittal. Also, a very
 simple guitar riff that works.
 
 Intro - D as follows. G add sus 7.  D (intro ) repeates through the
 song.

 D
 Well my names John Lee Pettimore 
 Same as my daddy n' his daddy before
 You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here
 He only come to town about twice a year
 He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
 Everybody knew that he made moonshine
          G                 G sus7    G     D
 Now the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad
 He headed up the holler with everything he had
     G                       G sus7    G    
 Before my time but I've been told
      D
 He never come back from Copperheadhead Road
 (repeat intro riff twice)
 
 D
 Grandaddy ran whiskey in a big black Dodge
 Bought it at the auction at the Mason's Lodge
 Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
 Just shot coat of primer then he looked inside
 Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
 I can still remember that rumblin sound
               G                     G sus7        G    D                
 Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the nite
 I heard momma cryin knew somethin wasn't right
         G                             G sus7   G     D                
 He was headed down to Knoxville with a weekend load
 You could smell the wiskey burnin down Copperhead Road
 
 (Stacato) DDDDD DDDDD  DDDDD DDDDD
 Intro
 D
 I volunteered for the army on my birthday
 They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
 I did two tours of duty in Vietnam
 I came home with a brand new plan
 I take seeds from Columbia and Mexico
 I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
         G            G sus7        G     D
 Now the DEA's got a chopper in the air
 I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
    G                          G sus7       G          
 I Learned a thing or two from charlie don't you know
         D
 You better stay away from Copperhead Road
 DDDDD DDDDD DDDDD DDDDD
