tab by bluerabbit10 05-24-2008

Banjo tuned to E. Played in Key of D

Long Chain Charlie and Moundsville

The (D) folks sing songs about (G) prison, coal mines and (D) war,

I got a story in a song Id like to (A) tell

For (D) a long time (G) now I been (D) sowing

And that long bad trip (A) I will be (D) going

And Long Chain (G) Charlie gonna take me back to (D) Moundsville

A lot of new (G) faces, I (D) see

But very few recognize (A) me

So (D) many dreams in life (G) I cant (D) fulfill,

What Id give now just to be (A) free

But death row calls (G) me in thirty-(D) three

And Long Chain Charlie (G) put me off last night in (D) Moundsville

Instrumental

Now my mind (G) does wander (D) back,

To my mama in a tumble-down (A) shack

Those (D) dreadful days, mama (G) taught us to (D) pray

But each time in my cell I (A) cry

Salvation (D) has (G) passed me (D) by

And I will never more (G) ride that Long Chain Charlie to (D)Moundsville

The priest just (G) left my (D) cell

He told me about heaven and (A) hell

Told (D) me about a way of (G) life I could be (D) free

But I will never be free no-(A) more

Death (D) row calls (G) me in thirty-(D) four

I just want to forget about

That (D) Long Chain (G) Charlie, and (D) Moundsville

I (D) just want to forget (G) about Long Chain Charlie, and (D) Moundsville
