TEAR MY STILLHOUSE DOWN (Gillian Welch)

Track 8 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)

VERSE 1:

D G

Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb

D A

No gold plated sign, in a marble pillared room

D G

The only thing I want, when they lay me in the ground

D A D

When I die tear my stillhouse down

CHORUS:

G

Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust

D

Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, where I made that evil stuff

G

For all my time and money, no profit did I see

D A D

That 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

(CHORUS)
