E                           A              E
Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin’
                                         Bm7
He invited me diggin’, so I picked up my screen
 E                        A      E
And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine
   E                    A         E
He traded me fair for a bottle of wine
    A         Bm7             E
His brother’s Barnes Mountain wine
E                           A               E
We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside
                                              Bm7
Took a ridge for a while, then we slowly went down
      E        A            E
To an overhang hid from the ridgeline
        E                       A          E
We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground
    A        Bm7    E
The dark and bloody ground

      E                             A            E
Was a bitch to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
                                         Bm7
The moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
           E                        A          E
'Cause you can’t hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
       E                     A          E
Got to find your fire in the company of corn

   E                       A             E
We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes
                                               Bm7
Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone
       E                         A           E
Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was sifting
          E                          A          E
Shook the hills like the angels were callin’ us home
 A     Bm7          E          E
Jesse, Zachary come home
-
       E                      A          E
It was banded as hell, it was fluted and clovis
                                      Bm7
It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side
      E                         A             E
I was fiending so fierce, I was broke ass and busted
  E                          Bm7          E     A  Bm7  E (walk up) A
I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse’s life
-
  A                     E
A clovis like that is a hard point to find
      E                                           Bm7
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
     E                A        E
Left over for burn on whatever meanness
E                 A         E
Whatever woman is comin' my way
A       Bm7     E
Darlin' come my way

  E                        A      E
I sit in this cell for the banded clovis
                                          Bm7
I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day
  E                       A             E
I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder
     E                        Bm7         E      A  Bm7  E
Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
