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