D        Bm        D       Bm D         Bm      Gadd9     A7ss4
Even the old folks never knew  why they call it like they do
D     Bm                  D      Bm       Em  D/F#
I was wond'ring since the age of two  down on Copperline
D      Bm     D          Bm D      D/F#            G       A7ss4
Copper head   copper beech  copper kettles sitting side by each
D      Bm           D       Bm        Em   D/F#     G A 
Copper coil, cup o' Georgia peach, down on Copperline
        Bm*                 D/F#      G
        Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, 
       Em       D/F#         G          A
        Leaning heavy on the end of the week
       Bm*             D/F#      G
        Hercules and a hog-nosed snake    **This is a little step-down
        Em          D/F#      G           /E/F#  /G   /A  D Bm
        Down on the Copperline, we were down on Copperline.

Warm summer night on the Copperline, slip away past suppertime
Wood smoke and moonshine, down on Copperline
One time I saw my daddy dance, watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in France, down unto the Copperline
        Branch water and tomato wine
        Creosote and turpentine
        Sour Mash and New Moonshine
        Down on Copperline
        Down on Copperline

First kiss I ever took, like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook, down on Copperline
Down on Copperline
                *** Instrumental break 
        Took a fall from a windy height
        I only knew how to hold on tight
        And pray for love enough to last all night
        Down on Copperline

>>BRIDGE
D6/G
Day breaks and the boy wakes up
(D6/G)
And the dog barks and the bird sings
(D6/G)                                   A7ss4
And the sap rises and the angels sigh....Yeah

I tried to go back as if I could, all-spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good, down on Copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me, it doesn't touch my memory
Man I'm lifting up and rising free, down on Copperline
        Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, 
        Leaning heavy on the end of the week
        Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
        Down on the Copperline, 
        Take me down on Copperline.

>CODA
(G)                    /E   /F# /G   /A  D Bm D Bm 
.... Yeah .... Take me down on Copperline
 D Bm  G      A7ss4     D Bm D Bm
.. Oh down on Copperline
 D Bm      G       A7ss4   D Bm.....
.. Take me down on Copperline.....

NOTE/DISCLAIMER
   This song was transcribed from Acoustic Guitar Magazine, July/Aug 1992
If this is a problem, please tell me, as I plan to post other songs from
this magazine. I have seen numerous violations of copyright infringement
from mags ranging from pictures, to guitar tab. In any case, just copying the
lyrics from J.T. should be an infringement, but I don't see anyone giving 
a whole heck of alot of care. Just..if I get the rap, I'm taking this whole
place with me! But I don't think it will happen too soon.
