Intro |: Am C G Am Em G Am :| Am C G Am I swear I see her in my dreams sometimes Em G Am held up in the middle of the night Am C G Am shaking like a pistol in a young man's hand Em G Am there in the pale moonlight Am C G Am standing up on top of that lonely hill Em G Am spared by the company mine Am C G Am is my blue-eyed baby with her best dress on Em G Am in the shadow of a lonely pine Am C G Am Ah but back before the war when the company came Em G Am these hills grew wild and free Am C G Am Me and baby we'd hide in the hollows low Em G Am away from the cruel sun's heat Am C G Am but then they knocked down the timber and burned off the brush Em G Am to get to the riches below Am C G Am And when they pulled out they left the cold black ground Em G Am And one pine standing alone Dm Em So take me home Am Lone Pine Hill [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/justin-townes-earle/311710.html ] Am C G Am Now I signed up back in sixty-one Em G Am I'm an Army of Virginia man Am C G Am I been from Manassas to Moconacy all the way to Sayler's Creek Em G Am fightin' for my homeland Am C G Am Ah but four years gone and all hope lost Em G Am and Richmond under siege Am C G Am We're digging out Five Forks waiting in the rain Em G Am For Sheridan to bring us to our knees Dm Em So take me home Am Lone Pine Hill C G Am There's a strange moon hanging overhead tonight C G Am and if the rain keeps comin' then the creeks gonna rise Dm G C C/B Am but with the Good Lord's Grace, I'll make it out of this place Dm Em Am and I'll be in your arms come the morning light, I swear Am C G Am So God grant me speed, and grant me forgiveness Em G Am and carry me all through the night Am C G Am take me through your hills and over your rivers Em G Am away from this awful fight Am C G Am 'Cause I never known a man that's ever owned another Em G Am and I ain't never owned nothing of my own Am C G Am So after four long years I just can't tell you Em G Am what the hell I've been fightin' for Dm Em So take me home Am Lone Pine Hill  |
