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:
Dm F
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
C G
I've been told that they're livin' in that big dipper in the sky,
Dm F C Am G
It's their kettles still burnin' bright
F G
When I'm alone out there in the middle of the night
C C/B Am
Sittin' with my corn and my wine,
F G C
I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky.
BRIDGE:
G F C
And I know that they'll walk with me
G F C
When it's time for me to pass to that great by and by
G F C
And I pray the Lord will forgive me
F G
'Cause even Jesus Christ could use a little wine
C Am
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
C Am
What of their stills in the pines?
C Am
Is their kettle still burnin' hot,
F Am
or has that still run dry?
CHORUS 3:
Dm F
Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
C G
I've been told that they're livin' in that big dipper in the sky,
Dm F C Am G
It's their kettles still burnin' bright
F G
When I'm alone out there... in the pines
C C/B Am
Sittin' with my corn and my wine,
F G C
I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky.
ENDING:
Am G F G
Yes I look up through the pines and give a nod

To that big dipper in the sky
