🎸 Intro: Am D Am D 🎸 Verse 1: Am D There's a devil in these hollers, my Papaw told me so Am D He's hidin' out, somewhere down off Barton Ferry Road Am D Got that high speed chicken feed, crystal meth amphetamines Am D A Take's you high, then to your knees just like a hilltop church Am D A Shakin' up a bottle 'til you're shakin' when it's gone Am D A Then you're down at River City pawnin' everything you own Am D A Hopin' there's a copper hidin' around these hills Am D A Too proud to beg or borrow, but you ain't too proud to steal
🎸 Chorus: Am D A Alkaline and Sudafed Am D A Paranoia in your head Am D A Used to get it from the seed D A Am D Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yеah Am D Alchemy, yeah 🎸 Verse 2: Am D A He grеw up broke, he knows his way around a kitchen Am D A Smell on a road of ammonia and mischief Am D A His hounds are howlin', the neighbors are bitchin' Am D A Everyone knows that ain't dinner Micky's fixin' 🎸 Chorus: Am D A Alkaline and Sudafed Am D A Paranoia in your head Am D A Used to get it from the seed D A Am D Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yеah 🎸 Post-Chorus: Am D Am D Am D Alchemy, alchemy, alchemy 🎸 Bridge: Am D I'll tell you boys, he'll cheat you right Am D A 'Cause one night, I just went and took me a bite, yeah Am D A And that apple fed my, my appetite Am A But it left me with a thirst, huh 🎸 Chorus: Am D A Alkaline and Sudafed Am D A Paranoia in your head Am D A Used to get it from the seed D A Am D Now it's Appalachian alchemy, yеah 🎸 Outro: Am D Alchemy Am D Alchemy Am D Alchemy Am Alchemy
