Where The Devil Dont Stay Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

Intro: [Em]

[VERSE 1]

My [Dm]Daddy played poker in the woods they say,
[F]back in his younger days
[G]Prohibition was the talk,
[Dm]but the rich folks walked to the woods where my Daddy stayed

[VERSE 2]

[Dm]Jugs and jars from shiners, these old b[F]oys here, they ain't miners
They [G]came from the twenty-niners
It didn't take a [Dm]hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face

[VERSE 3]
[Dm]Back in the thirties when the dust bowl dried
And the [F]woods in Alabama didn't see no light
My Daddy [G]played poker by a hard wood fire
[Dm]Squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
[Dm]Scrap like a wildcat fights till the end
[F]Trap a wildcat and take his skin
[G]Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
[Dm]One hand on the jug but you never do know

[CHORUS]
[C]Son come running
[G]You better come quick
[G]This [A]rotgut m[Bb]oonshine is making me [F]sick
Your[C] Mama called the law and they're gonna [G]take me away
[G]Down so f[A]ar even the D[Bb]evil won't stay

[VERSE 4]
[Dm]Where I call to the Lord with all my s[F]oul
[G]I can hear him rattling the chains on the d[Dm]oor
[G]He couldn't get in I could see he tr[F]ied
[Dm]Through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

[VERSE 5]

[C]Daddy tell me another story
[G]Tell me about the lows and the highs
[C]Tell me how to tell the dif[G]ference between w[A]hat they tell me is the truth
[Bb]or a lie
[F]Tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don't go m[C]ad
[G]With the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same j[A]ug in
[Bb]their hand

[CHORUS]
[C]Son come running
[G]You better come quick
[G]This [A]rotgut m[Bb]oonshine is making me [F]sick
Your[C] Mama called the law and they're gonna [G]take me away
[G]Down so f[A]ar even the D[Bb]evil won't stay
