    Tear My Stillhouse Down

    Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings

    Revival - song 8  Orig. Capo 1

    Poss drop D

    Intro D

    Put no D stone at my head,

    No G flowers on my tomb

    No D gold plated sign, in a A marble pillared room

    The D only thing I want,

    When they G lay me in the ground

    When I D die A tear my stillhouse D down

     

    Chorus

    Oh G tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust

    Don't D leave no trace of the hiding place, 

    Where I made that evil stuff

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

    That D old copper kettle was the A death of D me

     

    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        Instrumental Verse

     

    Go 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

    When I die tear my stillhouse down

    Chorus        Instrumental Verse

    That D old copper kettle was the A death of D me
