                                    D     Bm 
 
   D         Bm    D       Bm      D         Bm 
 
D        Bm        D       Bm D         Bm      Gadd9     A7 
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       A7 
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)                                   A7 
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      A7     D Bm D Bm 
... Oh down on Copperline 
 D Bm      G       A7   D Bm..... 
... Take me down on Copperline.....
