** CAPO 1st FRET **
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone?
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
