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

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

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

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

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

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
