D
Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore,
Same as my daddy and his daddy's before.
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here
He'd only come to town about twice a year
Buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line.
D7
Everybody knew that he made moonshine.
G
Now the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad.
D
Headed up the holler with everything he had.
G
Before my time, but I've been told.
D
You never come back from Copperhead Road.
D
Granddaddy ran whiskey in a big black Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Had Payne County Sheriff painted on the side
He just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down
D7
I still remember that rumbling sound
G
Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
D
Heard mama crying that something wasn't right
G
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
D D(d u d u d) 4x
You could smell the whisky burning down Copperhead Road.
D
I volunteered for the army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first, round hear anyway
I done two tours of duty in Viet Nam
I came home with a brand new plan
I'd take the seed from Columbia and Mexico
D7
I'd plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
G
Now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
D
I wake up screamin, like I'm back over there
G
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know.
D D(d u d u d) 4x
You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
**I like to play this in drop D tuning and if you do that, it's best
to play the G like the second chording.
