Tonart: D minor•
Verse 1
Charlie's cabin sits high on a mountain,
Am
Dm
looks on the valley below.
His people were here when
this place had no name
Am
Dm
That was a long time ago
Now power lines climb up the
side of his mountain
Town stretches further each day
They want to build a new interstate bypass,
black charlies riding their way.

Dm
He said you've taken the place where the sweet grasses grow,
Gm
Dm
Am
Dm
You've poisoned the wind
and the waters that flow
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
Dm
Am
Dm
Leave me my six feet of ground
The county commissioners
made a fair vote
Am
Dm
The newspapers said it was so
You can't hold back
progress or civilization
Black
Am
Dm
Charlie will have to go
They sent up a sheriff and deputies too
With shotguns and warrants and words
Black
Charlie said a
Scotch -Irish prayer
And he sang him a
Cherokee praise
Gm
G
He said, you've taken the place
Gm
Dm
Where the sweet grasses grow
Am
Covered it up with your tan
Dm
G
Gm
You've poisoned the wind
Dm
and the waters that flow
A
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
Dm
Am
Dm
Leave me my six feet of ground
Nobody knows why the
shooting began
Am
Dm
There's no living soul who will tell
All you can say is the real trouble started
Am
Dm
The minute that black charlie fell
Dark clouds all gathered,
the skies opened up
And a hard rain began to come down
The water poured over the
side of his mountain
Till there wasn't much left of that town
G
Dm
He said, you've taken the place
where the sweet grasses grow
Am
Covered it up with your town
Dm
G
You've poisoned the wind
Dm
and the waters that flow
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
Dm
Am
Dm
Leave me my six feet of ground
Black
Charlie's ghost watches
over his mountain
Am
Dm
His cabin is there to this day
The government built their
new interstate bypass
Am
Am
Dm
They put it up ten miles away
