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) A7ss4 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 A7ss4 D Bm D Bm .. Oh down on Copperline D Bm G A7ss4 D Bm..... .. Take me down on Copperline..... NOTE/DISCLAIMER This song was transcribed from Acoustic Guitar Magazine, July/Aug 1992 If this is a problem, please tell me, as I plan to post other songs from this magazine. I have seen numerous violations of copyright infringement from mags ranging from pictures, to guitar tab. In any case, just copying the lyrics from J.T. should be an infringement, but I don't see anyone giving a whole heck of alot of care. Just..if I get the rap, I'm taking this whole place with me! But I don't think it will happen too soon. /------------------------+------------------------------------------------- |HIRSCHFB@CORRAL.UWYO.EDU|In the great square state of Wyoming.
