C Am
In the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand stills
G7 F C
And they found the biggest one outside of Blue Field
Am
A little peaceful country town nothin' else for miles around
G7 F C
I saw whiskey run like water down through Blue Field
F G7 C
My trouble started on that Tuesday afternoon
F G7 C
The sheriff told me federal men will be here soon
F G7 C Am
He said we've come up with a plan to catch Blue Field's slickest man
G7 F C
And we will as sure as I'm the sheriff of Blue Field
F G7 C
On a Wednesday I had ninety jars to cap
F G7 C
Didn't think they'd had the time to set the trap
F G7 C Am
In the brush I heard a sound and I swiftly hit the ground
G7 F C
One live shot might send ‘em runnin' back to Blue Field
Am
Not a soul suspected me I was the sheriff's deputy
G7 F C
I'll make whiskey but God knows I'd never killed
Am
I didn't know he was that close when I let my shotgun go
G7 F C
But I found I killed my friend the sheriff of Blue Field
F G7 C
I recall how my mama and my girlfriend cried
F G7 C
When they left with me for Roanoke for the trial
F G7 C Am
It's my last night in this cell the last story I will tell
G7 F C
While I sit on death row dreamin' about Blue Field
Am G7 C
Blue Field Blue Field oh Blue Field
In the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand stills
G7 F C
And they found the biggest one outside of Blue Field
Am
A little peaceful country town nothin' else for miles around

I saw whiskey run like water down through Blue Field
