Chords for Justin Townes Earle - Lone Pine Hill (Lyrics)

_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I swear [Eb] I see her in my dreams [Cm] sometimes, [Bb] held up in the middle [Cm] of the night
_ Shaking [Eb] like a pistol in a young [Cm] man's hand, there in the pale moonlight
_ Standing [Eb] up atop of that [Cm] lonely hill, [Bb] spared by the company [Cm] mine
Is my blue [Eb]-eyed baby with the best [Cm] dress on, in [Gm] the shadow of [Cm] a lonely vine _ _ _ _ _ _
I'll be back before the war when the company came, these hills grew wild and free
Me and baby we'd hide in the hollers low, away from the cruel sun's heat
But then they knocked down the timber and burned off the brush to get to the riches below
And when they pulled out they left a cold black ground and one [Bb] pine standing [Cm] alone
So take [Fm] me home, _ [G] _
to the one pine [Cm] hill _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I signed up back in 61, I'm an army of Virginia man
I've been from Manassas to McConnachie, all the way to Sailors Creek, fighting for my homeland
I've been four years gone, and all hope lost in [Bb] Richmond under [Cm] siege
And we're digging out five forks waiting in the rain for Sheridan to bring us to her knees
So take [Fm] me home, _ [G] _ to the one [Cm] pine hill
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] Well there's a strange moon hanging [Cm] overhead tonight
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [D] And if the rain keeps coming then [Cm] the creek's gonna rise
_ But _ [F] _ [Bb] with the good Lord's [Eb] grace, _ I'll make [Cm] it out of this [Fm] place
And I'll be in your [G] arms come the morning light, [C] I swear
[Gm] _ So [C] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] God grant me speed, grant me forgiveness, and [Gm] carry me all through the [C] night
_ Take me [Cm] through your hills [Eb] and [Cm] over your rivers, away [Bb] from this awful [Cm] fight _
Cause I ain't never known a man that's ever owned another, and [Dm] they never [Gm] owned nothing of [Cm] my own
So after four long years I just can't tell you what the hell I've been fighting for
So take [Fm] me home, _ [G] _ to the one pine [Cm] hill _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
