Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[D] Put no [D]stone at my head, no [G]flowers on my tomb No [D]gold-plated sign, in a [A]marble pillared room The [D]one thing I want, when they [G]lay me in the ground When I [D]die, [A]tear my stillhouse [D]down

Oh, [G]tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don’t [D]leave no trace of the hiding place where I made that evil stuff For [G]all my time and money, no profit did I see That [D]old copper kettle was the [A7]death of [D]me.

When [D]I was a child, way [G]back in the hills I [D]laughed at the men, who [A]tended those stills But that [D]old mountain shine, it [G]caught me somehow When I [D]die, [A]tear my stillhouse [D]down.

Oh [D]tell all your children, that [G]Hell ain’t no dream ‘Cause [D]Satan he lives, in my [A]whiskey machine And [D]in my time of dying, I [G]know where I’m bound So when I [D]die,… [A]tear my stillhouse [D]down

That [D]old copper kettle was the [A7]death of [D]me.
