Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin’

   G                                     D
He invited me diggin’, so I picked up my screen

 G                        C      G
And a shovel to dig and a jar of shine

   G                    C         G
He traded me fair for a bottle of wine

    C         D             G
His brother’s Barnes Mountain wine

G                           C               G
We trudged through the snow straight up the hillside

                                              D
Took a ridge for a while, then we slowly went down

      G        C            G
To an overhang hid from the ridgeline

        G                       C          G
We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground

    C        D    G
The dark and bloody ground
[Solo] G C G G D G C G C D,G G [Verse]
       G                             C            G
Was a bitch to break ground but the wine kept us goin'

                                         D
The moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm

           G                        C          G
'Cause you can’t hold a girl with a fistful of shovel

       G                     D          G
Got to find your fire in the company of corn
[Solo] C G G D, G C G C D,G G [Verse]
       G                   C             G
We dug for a while then it all turned to ashes

                                               D
Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone

       G                         C           G
Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was sifting

          G                          C          G
Shook the hills like the angels were callin’ us home

 C     D          G          G
Jesse, Zachary come home
[Verse]
       G                      C          G
It was banded as hell, it was fluted and clovis

                                      D
It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side

      G                         C             G
I was fiending so fierce, I was broke ass and busted

  G                          D          G     C  D  G (walk up) C
I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse’s life
[Verse]
  C                     G
A clovis like that is a hard point to find

      G                                           D
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change

     G                C        G
Left over for burn on whatever meanness

G                 C         G
Whatever woman is comin' my way

C       D     G
Darlin' come my way
[Solo] G C G D G C G C D,G G [Verse]
  G                        C      G
I sit in this cell for the banded clovis

                                          D
I stole off of Nolan when I killed'm that day

  G                       C             G
I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder

     G                        D         G      C  D  G G
Corn liquor and woman are the culprits to blame
