Eli Renfro killed his wife with a long sharp Bowie knife.
[E] [B]
Eli Renfro [A] killed his wife [E] with a long [B] sharp Bowie knife.
[E] He packed her up [F#] and he put her in the [B] ground.
Death by hanging [C#] must have been his fate.
[E] And old [B] Eli Phillip V [E] put a curse on the [F#] entire town.
Ain't you hear, [E] can't you hear?
[B] When the moon is [E] bright and clear from [F#] time to time.
It's old Eli gone [E] and changed.
And money [B] and people's names.
I just hope and pray he never thinks of mine.

I was a-walkin' the high road [A] late last night.
[Em] The stars were out [B] and the moon was bright.
The wind was a-blowin' you could hear for a half a mile.
[F#m] That awful sound [A] came through the trees.
[B] It chilled my blood and it shook my knees.
[E] The kind of a thing that'd make a man [F#] run wild.
Ain't you [B] hear, can't you hear?
When the moon is bright and clear from [F#] time to time.
It's old Eli draggin' chains.
And money and [B] people's names.
I just hope and [F#] pray he never [B] thinks of mine.

[B] So if you leave [A] town before I do, [B] don't look back.
I'm a-comin', [E] packin' my things [F#] and I'm goin' far [B] away.
Well, they said that you [Am] can't run away from a [E] curse.
Maybe this [B] time I'll be the first.
[E] There ain't nobody here gonna [F#] make me stay.
Ain't you hear, [E] can't you hear?
[B] When the moon [E] is bright and clear [F#] from time to time.
[F#m] It's old Eli [E] draggin' [F#] chains.
And money and [B] people's names.
I just hope and [A] pray he never [B] thinks of mine.
I just hope and [A] pray he never [B] thinks of mine.
I just hope and [F#] pray he never thinks of mine.
