I'm goin up among the stars,

D             Bm
up in the westernhills,

            D            C           B7
where the wolves are howlin' in the barn,

        A                  B7
and the black elves never chill,

           C           A          D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law

        D          Bm
Jocko hobo and mr seeds,

and our buddy old Zeke-Boone,

             D             C      B7
they were drinkin at the honkin' duck,

     A              B7
they started round noon,

           C           A          D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law

          D                     Bm
"so many times", says Boon ive died,

         D           Bm
"but I come back to life,

                D        C       B7
to drink like elwood and wag my tail

           A            B7
and stick foes with my knife"

Where the code, of the mountains, is the law

               D                     Bm
they heard a flappin' at the back windows

  D             Bm
and a wolverine walked in,

                    D            C         B7
with a long black cloak, that swept the floors

         A                    B7
and a machine gun under the chair

           C           A          D
Where the code, of the mountains, is the law

           D                        Bm
he says "I did not come to kill you all,

D             Bm
I only want Zeke-Boone,

                D         C         B7

     A              B7

            D                 Bm
"before you shoot me mr wolverine

D             Bm

            D         C       B7
I made this up on blueberry hill,

        A              B7
in the sweet of summertime"

"Ill have a pull of that wine",

         D                 C          B7
then a smile reached all across his teeth,

             A           B7
and his eyes begun to shine

           C           A          D

"I believe I see the light,

         D               C         B7
