Red Clay Halo Gillian Welch
RED CLAY HALO CAPO IV C G C
[C]Well the girls all dance, with the boys from the city
But they don't care to dance with [G]me
[C]Well it ain't my fault, that the fields are muddy
G C hold 4 extra counts
And the red clay stains my feet
[C]It's under my nails, and it's under my collar,
And it shows on my Sunday [G]clothes
[C]Though I do my best with soap and water,
G C hold 4 extra counts
That dammed old dirt won't go
Chorus
[F]But when I pass through the [C]pearly gates
[G]Will my gown be gold ins[C]tead
[F]Or just a red clay robe with red [C]clay wings
G C hold 4 extra counts
And a red clay halo for my head
Inst. = verse
[C]It's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer
When it rolls in crimson [G]tide
[C]Til the trees and leaves and the cows are the colour
G C hold 4 extra counts
Of the dirt on the mountain side
Chorus
[C]Now Jordan's banks are red and muddy,
And the rollin water is [G]wide
[C]But I got no boat,
[C]So I'll be good and muddy
G C hold 4 extra counts
When I get to the other side
Chorus
Last two lines :-
I'll take a red clay robe and red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
