Chords

[Intro] C [Verse]
C         G      C         
Get you a copper kettle,   

C         G      C
Get you a copper coil,

E                     Am
Fill it with new-made corn mash 

    Dm                G
And never more you'll toil.
[Chorus]
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper

Am               Em
while the moon is bright,

Am                Dm
Watch them jugs a-filling

Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.
[Verse]
C         G       C
My daddy, he made whiskey; 

C        G             C
My grand-daddy, he did too.

E                Am
We ain't paid no whiskey tax 

      Dm               G
Since seventeen ninety-two.
[Chorus]
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper

Am               Em
while the moon is bright,

Am                Dm
Watch them jugs a-filling

Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.
[Verse]
C           G         C
Build you a fire with hickory, 

C        G       C
Hickory, ash and oak,

E                     Am
Don't use no green or rotten wood; 

        Dm             G
They'll get you by the smoke.
[Chorus]
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper

Am               Em
while the moon is bright,

Am                Dm
Watch them jugs a-filling

Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.
[Verse]
C         G      C         
Get you a copper kettle,   

C         G      C
Get you a copper coil,

E                     Am
Fill it with new-made corn mash 

    Dm                G
And never more you'll toil.
[Chorus]
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper

Am               Em
while the moon is bright,

Am                Dm
Watch them jugs a-filling

Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.
