We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
SI7 MImFrom the Alabama trust

She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had

Don't call for help, don't scream, don't cry
Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by.
CAPO 5
VERSE 1:
SOLOh the night came undone like a party dress
And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess
SOL DOThe smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls
SOL RE SOL REAnd they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls
VERSE 2:
Well she tosses and turns because the sun is unkind
And the heat of the day is coming in thru the blinds
But leave all the blue skies for the rest of the world
Because the neon will shine for the barroom girls
BRIDGE:
RE SOLOh the barroom girls go by your side
LA RELike the ponies who pass on a carousel ride
And all of the colors go 'round in a swirl
SOL RE SOL REWhen you dance in the arms of the barroom girls
VERSE 3:
Now she rolls to her feet when she can't sleep no more
And looks at her clothes lying out on the floor
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

Just a boy passing twenty
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
For my luck has turned against me

VERSE 1:
SOL REPaper wings, all torn and bent
But you made me feel like they were heaven sent
SOL REPaper wings, not real at all

Your paper kisses, faded too soon
LA REJust like a paper rose, beneath a paper moon
SOL DOPaper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings
BRIDGE:
DO SOLAngels singing, didn't you hear
If only I'd listened close, when they whispered in my ear

Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb
RE LANo gold plated sign, in a marble pillared room
RE SOLThe only thing I want, when they lay me in the ground
When I die tear my stillhouse down
Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, where I made that evil stuff
SOLFor all my time and money, no profit did I see
RE LA REThat old copper kettle was the death of me
VERSE 2:
When I was a child, way back in the hills
I laughed at the men, who tended those stills
But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow
When I die tear my stillhouse down
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3:
Oh tell all your children, that Hell ain't no dream
'Cause Satan he lives, in my whiskey machine
And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound
So when I die tear my stillhouse down

CAPO 7
VERSE 1:
DOThe fairest bloom the mountain knows
Is not an iris or a wild rose
But the little flower of which I'll tell
SOL DOKnown as the brave acony bell
VERSE 2:
Just a simple flower so small and plain
With a pearly hue and a little known name
But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
For they know that spring is coming soon
VERSE 3:
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
Where the snows lie deep on the windy hills
And it tells the world Why should I wait
This ice and snow is gonna melt away.
VERSE 4:
And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song
For the troubled times will soon be gone
ONLY ONE AND ONLY (Gillian Welch / David Rawlings)

CAPO 3
VERSE 1:
There's a hundred bluebirds, up above the clouds
SOL DOPutting all the color in the sky
DO FAAnd twice as many tear drops, there to wash it down
Every one's another lullaby
But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely
VERSE 2:
There's a world of trouble, trying to take its turn
I can hear it shaking underground
And half a dozen lessons, I might never learn
Not until them troubles come around
VERSE 3:
There's a mile of blacktop, where the road begins
It takes a time or two to recognize
Growing at the roadside, scattered by the wind
Are everybody's unsaid sad goobyes
(CHORUS)
CODA:
You're the only one and only
Why'd you go and leave me lonely
