G+G
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Way down south in a Kentuck' town
Where all of the stubble fields grow
G+G E minorEm
One boy did rise with the devil in his eyes
Whose heart was dark as Westfield coal
G+G E minorEm
Heart was dark as Westfield coal
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Roderick Ferrell and the Wendorf girl
Knelt down upon a darkened grave
G+G E minorEm
He drew his dagger down and the red ran to the ground
And they licked along the bloody blade
G+G E minorEm
Licked along the bloody blade
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Blood-red blood on the blue, blue grass
It cries from hallowed hunting ground
G+G E minorEm
'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
G+G E minorEm
Took another poor boy down
(E minorEm G+G E minorEm)
G+G E minorEm
Ridin' in the night down to F-L-A
E minorEm
To bid her folks a foul farewell
G+G E minorEm
With his claw hammer high he drew their spirits nigh
And danced amidst the crimson spray
G+G E minor 7Em7
Danced amidst the crimson spray
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Blood-red blood on the blue, blue grass
It cries from hallowed hunting ground
G+G E minorEm
'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
G+G E minorEm
Took another poor boy down
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Take heed all ye motherless children so lost
Dwell not in the caves of your mind
G+G E minorEm
Roderick Ferrell's trail of sin did lead him his to his end
But bloody fields blossom blue in time
G+G E minorEm
Bloody fields blossom blue in time
E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Blood-red blood on the blue, blue grass
It cries from hallowed hunting ground
G+G E minorEm
'Twas the midnight curse of that bloody black patch
That took another poor boy down
G+G E minorEm
Took another poor boy down
