VERSE:

C majorC              A minorAm
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
C majorC              A minorAm
What of their stills in the pines?
C majorC           A minorAm       FF         A minorAm
Is their kettle still burnin' hot? Or has that still run dry?
C majorC             A minorAm       C majorC     A minorAm
Papa was a whiskey man and his before him, now so am I.
C majorC               A minorAm
Lord knows I miss them but I know I'm not alone,
     FF        A minorAm
When I look up into the night sky.

CHORUS 1:

DmDm              FF
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
      C majorC                  G+G
I've been told that they're livin' in that big dipper in the sky,
DmDm            FF    C majorC   A minorAm  G+G
It's their kettles still burnin' bright
FF                G+G
When I'm alone out there in the middle of the night
C majorC        C/BC/B     A minorAm
Sittin' with my weed and my wine,
  FF                  G+G              C majorC
I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky.

VERSE 2 LYRICS (Same chords as first VERSE):

Way down South Georgia in 1932, old Uncle John was in a bind,

Owned himself the only general store for miles

Controlled all the farmin' supplies

Wasn't long before the I.O.U.s piled up; people just couldn't pay

So it closed that store and up into the woods he went

Back to that moonshine


CHORUS 2:


DmDm              FF
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
      C majorC                  G+G
I've been told that they're livin' in that big dipper in the sky,
DmDm            FF    C majorC   A minorAm  G+G
It's their kettles still burnin' bright
FF                G+G
When I'm alone out there in the middle of the night
C majorC        C/BC/B     A minorAm
Sittin' with my corn and my wine,
  FF                  G+G              C majorC
I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky.


BRIDGE:

G+G     FF           C majorC
 And I know that they'll walk with me
      G+G       FF       C majorC
When it's time for me to pass to that great by and by
    G+G    FF      C majorC
And I pray the Lord will forgive me
    FF            G+G
'Cause even Jesus Christ could use a little wine
C majorC              A minorAm
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
C majorC              A minorAm
What of their stills in the pines?
C majorC            A minorAm
Is their kettle still burnin' hot,
  FF         A minorAm
or has that still run dry?


CHORUS 3:


DmDm              FF
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

I've been told that they're livin' in that big dipper in the sky,
DmDm            FF    C majorC   A minorAm  G+G
It's their kettles still burnin' bright
FF            G+G
When I'm alone out there... in the pines
C majorC        C/BC/B     A minorAm
Sittin' with my corn and my wine,
  FF                  G+G              C majorC
I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky.


ENDING:


A minorAm  G+G     FF                  G+G
    Yes I look up through the pines and give a nod
              C majorC
To that big dipper in the sky
