Intro: D Bm* (Bm* = X20230) D Bm* D Bm* D Bm*

Verse 1:

D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* G A7sus4 Even the old folks never knew why they call it like they do; D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A I was wond'ring since the age of two, down on Copperline. D Bm* D Bm* D D/F# G A7sus4 Copper head, copper beech, copper kettles sitting side by each - D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A Copper coil, cup o' Georgia peach, down on Copperline.
tabchorus
Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G A Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, leaning heavy on the end of the week. Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G Hercules and a hog-nosed snake - down on the Copperline, G A D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* We were down on Copperline.

Verse 2:

D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* G A7sus4 Warm summer night on the Copperline, slip away past suppertime. D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A Wood smoke and moonshine, down on Copperline. D Bm* D Bm* D D/F# G A7sus4 One time I saw my daddy dance; watched him moving like a man in a trance. D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A He brought it back from the war in France, down on Copperline.
tabchorus
Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G A Branch water and tomato wine, creosote and turpentine, Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G (tacet) Sour mash and new moonshine, down on Copperline; G A D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* We were down on Copperline.

Verse 3:

D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* G A7sus4 First kiss ever I took, like a page from a romance book; D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A The sky opened and the earth shook, down on Copperline.
tabchorus
Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G A Took a fall from a windy height; I only knew how to hold on 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) A7sus4 D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* And the sap rises, and the angels sigh....Yeah

Verse 4:

D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* G A7sus4 I tried to go back as if I could; all spec house and plywood D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A Tore up, and tore up good, down on Copperline. D Bm* D Bm* D D/F# G A7sus4 It doesn't come as a surprise to me; it doesn't touch my memory. D Bm* D Bm* Em D/F# G A Man I'm lifting up and rising free, down on Copperline.
tabchorus
Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G A Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, I'm only livin' for the end of the week. Bm D/F# G Em D/F# G Hercules and a hog-nosed snake - down on the Copperline, G A D Bm* D Bm* We were down on Copperline. G A D Bm* D Bm* D Bm* D Take me down on Copperline.
