Chords for Legend of Wooley Swamp Charlie Daniels

First of all, I'd like to say that [C] it is an honor to be among such incredible talent.
This particular song, I'm from, I was born over in North Carolina.
And, _ [D] thank you, we've got some Tar Heels here today.
But, there's a place down there, it's in a low coastal area,
we've got places there called swamps.
And they are thick, briars, brambles, _ rattlesnakes, about anything bad you can think of.
I used to hunt in one when I was a boy, and I got to thinking about,
what if I put a ghost in that dead blind thing, what would happen?
We'd have the swamp in the ghost.
So, I turned out with a thing called the Legend of Woody's Swamp Goes Like This. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Well, if you ever go [G] back into Woody's Swamp, you better not go at [D] night.
There's things [G] out there in the middle of these woods that make a strong man die from [C] fright.
[D] Things that [C] crawl, things that [G] fly, things that creep around [D] on the ground.
And to save the [G] ghost of Lucius Clay, he gets up and [D] he walks around, but I couldn't believe [G] it. _
Just had to find out [D] for myself, and I couldn't conceive it.
[Em] _
[G] I never would have listened to [D] nobody else, and I couldn't believe it.
[Em] _
Just [G] had to find [D] out for myself.
Now, [C] there's some [G] things in this world you just [D] can't explain. _ _ _ _ _
[A] The old man lived in the [D] Woody's Swamp way back in the _ [C] day.
He never did do a lot of harm in the world, he just never did do no good.
[Dm] People didn't think too much of him, they all thought he acted funny.
[C] That old man didn't care about people anyway, all he cared about was his money.
[Em] He'd [Dm] stuff it all down into mason jars and bury it all around.
[C] And on certain nights, if the moon was right, he'd dig it up out of the ground.
And [Dm] then he'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and he'd run his fingers through it.
[C] Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy old man, that's all that there was to it.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ But I couldn't believe it, [G] _ I just had to find out [D] for myself, and I couldn't conceive it.
[G] I never would have listened to [D] nobody else, and I couldn't believe it.
[Em] _ [G] Just had to find [D] out for myself.
[G] Now, there's some things in this world you just [D] can't explain.
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
[Dm] The Kegel boys was white trash, they lived [D] over on Carver's Creek.
[C] And they were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat and belligerent when they'd speak.
[Dm] One night the oldest brother said,
Y'all [A] meet me in the woolly swamp later [C] and we'll take old Lucius' money and we'll just feed him to the alligators.
[G] [Dm] They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand.
[C] Thirteen rusty mason jars he just dug up out of the sand.
And [Dm] then they all went crazy to feed the old man and they picked him up off the ground.
And [C] then they threw him in the swamp and stood there and laughed as the black water sucked him down.
[D] Then they turned around and went back to the shack, picked up the money and ran.
[C] They hadn't gone nowhere when they realized that they were running in quicksand.
[Dm] And they struggled and they screamed but they couldn't get away just before they [Em] went under.
[C] They could hear that old man laughing in a voice as loud as thunder.
[Dm] And that's been fifty years ago.
And you can go by there, and [C] there's a spot in the yard in the back that's _ always wet.
And on certain nights [N] if the moon is right down by that dark [C] wood path, you can hear three young men screaming and you can hear one old man laugh.
[D] If you ever go [G] back in the woolly swamp well you better not go at [D] night.
There's things out [Em] there in the beauty that [G] make a strong man [Em] die from fright.
[D] Things that [C] crawl and things that [G] fly, things that creep around on the [D] ground.
And they say the [Em] ghost of Lucius Clay gets up and [D] he walks around but he couldn't believe [Em] it.
Just [G] had to find out [D] for myself and I couldn't [Em] conceal it.
[G] I never would have listened to [D] nobody else and I couldn't believe it.
[G] _
Just had to find [D] out for myself.
[Em] Now there's some things in [G] this world you just [D] can't explain.
_ _ [C] Yeah, there's some things in [G] this world you just [D] can't explain. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Dm] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ [B] In _ _ _ [E] music, once I learned to play a couple of chords, that's [D] all I ever wanted to [E] do.
I had no desire to do anything else.
While everybody else wanted to be airline pilots and firemen, I wanted to be a guitar picker and a fiddle player.
That's [D] all I really cared about.
I came to Nashville in 67 with the clutch out of my car, a $20 bill, a wife and a baby that was almost two years [A] old.
And I [C#m] had a friend that [Bm] helped me [F#m] during that time but [D] it was a tough stand [C#m] here.
I've always played a little too loud [D] and a little too bluesy, especially for what was going on [A] in Nashville [E] at the time.
_ _ [A] But [Bm] Bob Dylan was [C#m] coming to town and my [G] friend was [D] producing.
I said, you've got to [F#] let me play on one Bob Dylan session [C#m] just because I'm such an admirer.
Anyway, he [F#] scheduled me for the early session [Bm] and [D] I went in [Bm] and I played.
[E] I hung on [A] every word and every note that Bob Dylan played or [E] sang.
I [A] was packing my instruments up and getting ready to leave because I was only supposed to do one session.
[Bm] Bob Dylan asked Bob [E] Johnson, where's Charlie going?
[Dm] He said, he's leaving, I've got [A] another guitar player.
And Bob Dylan said nine words that would
