Red Clay Halo - Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Chords

[A] I don't know that many [G] people that have songs about dirt, _ _ but we do.
Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the girls all dance with the boys from the city
And they don't care to dance [D] with me
_ [G] Now it ain't my fault that the fields are muddy
And the red [D] clay stains [G] my feet
And it's under my nails and it's under my collar
And it shows on [Dm] Sunday [D] clothes
[G] Though I do my best with soap and water
But the [D] dandle dirt [G] won't go
_ [C] But when I [G] pass through the pearly gates
[D] Will my gown be gold [G] instead
Or [C] just a red clay robe [G] with red clay wings
[D] And a red clay halo [G] for my head _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now it's mud in spring and it's dust in summer
When it flows in a crimson [D] tide
[G] Until the trees and the leaves and the cows are the color
Of the dirt on the _ mountainside
_ [C] But when I [G] pass through the pearly gates
[D] Will my gown be gold [G] instead
Or [C] just a red clay [G] robe with red clay [D] wings
And a red clay halo [G] for my head
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now Jordan's banks, they're red and muddy
And the rolling water [D] is _ wide
[G] But God knows I'll be good and muddy
When I get to [D] the [G] other side
_ [C] And when I [G] pass through the pearly gates
Will [D] my gown be gold [G] instead _
Or [C] just a red clay [G] robe with red clay wings
[D] And a red clay halo for [G] my head
I'll [C] take a red clay [G] robe with red clay wings
[D] And a red clay halo [G] for my head
