Chords with lyrics

C majorC                           A minorAm
In the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand stills

     G7G7        FF          C majorC
And they found the biggest one outside of Blue Field

                           A minorAm
A augmentedA little peaceful country town nothin' else for miles around

   G7G7        FF         C majorC
I saw whiskey run like water down through Blue Field


      FF        G7G7      C majorC
My trouble started on that Tuesday afternoon

      FF        G7G7        C majorC
The sheriff told me federal men will be here soon

       FF       G7G7      C majorC           A minorAm
He said we've come up with a plan to catch Blue Field's slickest man

    G7G7       FF         C majorC
And we will as sure as I'm the sheriff of Blue Field

   FF        G7G7       C majorC
On a Wednesday I had ninety jars to cap

    FF          G7G7       C majorC
Didn't think they'd had the time to set the trap

    FF        G7G7     C majorC        A minorAm
In the brush I heard a sound and I swiftly hit the ground

  G7G7          FF         C majorC
One live shot might send ?em runnin' back to Blue Field


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

     G7G7       FF        C majorC
I'll make whiskey but God knows I'd never killed

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

   G7G7        FF           C majorC
But I found I killed my friend the sheriff of Blue Field


 FF       G7G7           C majorC
I recall how my mama and my girlfriend cried

     FF        G7G7       C majorC
When they left with me for Roanoke for the trial

    FF         G7G7      C majorC      A minorAm
It's my last night in this cell the last story I will tell

    G7G7        FF       C majorC
While I sit on death row dreamin' about Blue Field

A minorAm     G7G7      C majorC
