Verse 1:
A minorAm
Well my granddaddy was a good man
D MajorD D/C A minorAm
No matter what the papers say

He worked 'til he bled for everything he had
C majorC D MajorD
Brought us up to do the same
A minorAm
One afternoon in June

My cousin and me were twenty feet deep

And covered in red mud clay

Verse 2:
A minorAm
Well we ran pipe from the creek bed
D MajorD D/C A minorAm
Through the woods to the old grey shack

It was worth the trouble to work them shovels

For granddaddy's sour mash stash

All the weeds and pecan trees hid a secret

Well my granddaddy knew what the law would do

If they ever come snoopin' 'round back

Lord I'm down in the gulley

Where the creek is high

Where only the moon shines

Verse 3:
A minorAm
Without money you can't buy nothin'
D MajorD D/C A minorAm
And nothin' is a damned ol' shame
A minorAm
When you're in the hole
C majorC D MajorD A minorAm
You'd sell your soul for runnin' water instead of rain
A minorAm
Well the hills were filled with the smell of cash
D MajorD D/C A minorAm
Cookin' in the copper still
A minorAm C majorC
Everybody knew where they get their brew
G+G A minorAm
And that made our family name
Chorus:
A minorAm
Lord I'm down in the gulley

Where the creek is high
A minorAm
Lord I'm down in the gulley

Where only the moon shines

Where only the moon shines
