* PLAY RIFF 1 AFTER EACH VERSE LINE
[Verse]
[D]Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
[D]You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
[D]He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the rev[G]enue man wanted Gra[C]ndaddy b[G]ad
[D]He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's be[G]fore my time but I'[C]ve been to[G]ld
[D]He never came back from Copperhead Road
[INTRO RIFF]
[Verse]
[D]Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
[D]Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
[D]Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the she[G]riff came around in the mi[C]ddle of the ni[G]ght
[D]Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was he[G]aded down to Knoxville with the we[C]ekly lo[G]ad
D (LET RING)
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
[BREAK]
D MUTE 4x
INTRO RIFF 2x G C G D 2X
[Verse]
[D]I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
[D]I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
[D]I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.[G]E.A.'s got a ch[C]opper in the a[G]ir
[D]I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I lea[G]rned a thing or two from ol' Cha[C]rlie don't you k[G]now
[D]You better stay away from Copperhead Road
[BREAK]
D MUTE 4x
[Outro]
