[Dm] [D]
Put no stone at my head, [G] no flowers on my tomb, [D] no gold-plated sign [A] in a marble-pillared room.
[D] The one thing I want when [G] they lay me in the ground, when [D] I die, [A] tear my steel [D] house down.
[G]
Let it go to rust, [D] don't you leave no trace of the hiding place.
I made that evil stuff [G] for all my time and money, no profit did I see, [D] that old copper
kettle was [A] the [D] death of me.
[Dm] [D]
When I was a child way [G] back in the hills, [D] I laughed at the [Dm] men who [A] tended those stills,
but [D] that old mountain shined [G] and caught me somehow.
Now when [D] I die,
[A] tear my steel [D] house [G]
[D] down.
[G] Let it go to rust, [D] don't you leave no trace of the hiding place.
