Am
Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
C
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
G Am
You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here
Am
He'd only come to town about twice a year
C
Buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
G Am
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Am
Now the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad
C
Headed up the holler with everything he had
G Am
It was before my time, but I've been told
Am
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Am
Now, my grandma's old, she sold the land
C
To raise a little money, I guess she had a plan
G Am
But it was a long time before I could understand
Am
Why the only thing I ever saw her do was stand
C
In the kitchen, talking to the walls
G Am
Then I realized she was talking to the calls
Am
And that was before my time, but I've been told
C
She never came back from Copperhead Road
Am
Copperhead Road
C
Copperhead Road
G Am
Copperhead Road, oh, Copperhead RoadCopperhead Road
