Don't Go into That Barn Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Don't go into that barn, yea
I said: don't [Am]go into that barn, yea
Black cellophane sky [Em]at mi[Am]dnit[Em]e[Am]
A big blue [Em]moon with three [Am]gold rings
I called Champion to the window
[Em]I po[Am]inted up above the[Em] trees[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]That's when I heard my
name in a scream
Coming from the woods, out there
I let [Am]my dog run off the chain
I locked my door [Em]real
[Am]good with a chair

[Verse 3]
[Em]Don't go [Am]into that [Em]barn, yea
I said: [Am]don't go [Em]into [Am]that barn,
[Em]yea[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Everett Lee broke loose [Em]again,
[Am]It's worse than the time be fo[Em]re[Am]
[Em]Because he's high [Am]on potato
and tulip wine
Fermented in the muddy rain, of course
[Dm]A

[Verse 5]
drunken wail, a drunken train
Blew through the birdless trees
Oh, you're [Am]alone alright
You're alone alright
How did I know
How did I know
[Dm]Don't

[Verse 6]
[Am]go into that b[Em]arn, y[Am]ea[Em]
I [Am]said: don't go into that barn, yea

[Verse 7]
[Am]An o[Em]ld bl[Am]ack t[C]re[Em]e,[Am]
scratching up the sky
With [C]boney, [Em]claw [Am]like [Em]fingers
[Am]A rusty black rake
Digging up the [Dm]turnips [F]of a muddy
[Am]cold[Em] grey [Am]sky

[Verse 8]
[Dm]Shiny tooth talons
Coiled for grabbing a stranger
happening by
And the [Am]day went home early
And the sun sank down into the [C]muck
of [Am]a deep dead [Em]sky[Am][Dm]

[Verse 9]
Don't [Em]go into that b[Am]arn, y[Em]ea
I [Am]said: don't go [Dm]into [Am]that barn, yea
[Dm]Back

[Verse 10]
[Am]sinc[C]e[Am][Dm][Am]
Saginaw Calinda was born,
It's been [C]cotton [Am]and[Em]
soya[C]beans, tobacco and corn
[Am]Behind the porticoed house
of a long dead farm
They [Dm]found [Am]the falling down timbers
Of [C]a spooky [Am]old barn
[Dm]Out

[Verse 11]
there like a slave ship
upside down
Wrecked beneath the waves [Am]of g[Dm]rain
When the [Am]river is low
They find old bones and
When they plow they [Dm]always [Em]dig
up chain[Am]s[C][Am]

[Verse 12]
[Dm]Don't go [Em]into that barn, yea
I said: [Am]don't [Em]go into that b[Am]arn,
yea

[Dm]Did you [Am]bring your k[Dm]nife?
[Am]Yes sir!
[Dm]Did [Am]they see y[Dm]our [Em]face?[C]
No [Am]sir!
[Dm]Did the moon see you?
No sir!
Did you go cross the river?
Yes sir!
Did you [Am]fix your rake?
Yes sir!
[Dm]Did [Am]you stay down wind?
[C]Yes [Am]sir!
Did you [Em]hide your [Am]gun?[Em]
Yes sir!
Did you smuggle [Dm]your [C]rum?
Yes [Em]sir!

How did I [C]know[Am]
How did I [C]know[Em][Am]
