Banded Clovis Chords by Tyler Childers

_ _ _ Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for sifting.
He invited me digging, so [Dm] I picked up my screen and [G] a shovel to dig, and a jar of shine.
Traded me fair [D] for a bottle [G] of wine, [C] his [Bb] [D] brother's Barnes [G] Mountain wine.

[Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ .
We trudged through [C] snow, [Gm] straight [G] up the hillside, took a ridge for a while,.
then we slowly went down to an _ [C] overhang.
Fed from [G] the ridgeline, bent over our handles, and we bit in the ground.
[C] The dark [D] and [G] bloody ground was _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ a bitch to break [C] ground, but the wine kept [G] us going.
The moonshine was flowing, [F] keeping [G] us [G] warm, cause you can't hold a girl [C] with a fistful [G] of shovel.
Gotta find your fire and company of [C] corn.

_ _ _ We dug for a while, then it all turned to ashes.
Found a bunch of broken flint and a few bits of bone.
[Dm] Then [G] I heard Jesse yell over the pile he was sifting, shook the hills like the [D] angels were calling [G] us [C] home.
Jesse, [D] [G] Zack, come home.
_ .
_ It was banded as hell, it was fluted and Clovis.
It was hot as a pistol I kept on [D] my side.
[G] I was being severe, so I broke ass and busted.
Pulled out my pistol and took Jesse's life.
[C] _ [Dm] _ .
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] Clovis like [G] that is a hard boy to find.
Make a fair sweat to come by with a [D] good chunk of change.
[Dm].
[G] Left over for [C] burnin' on [G] whatever means.
Whatever [D] woman is coming [G] my way.
Charlie, come my way.

_ _ I sit in the cell [C] for the [G] banded Clovis.
I stole off a knoll and went and killed him that day.
[D] [G] I reckon the [C] chase of the pills [G] and the powder, corn liquor and the [D] women are the culprits [G] to blame.
