[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Don't go [Em]into that [Am]barn,
[Em]yea[C][Em][Am]
Don't go [Em]into [Am]that barn,
[Em]yea
[C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Black cellophane [Em]sky a[Am]t mi[Em]dnite[C]
Big blue [Em]moon with three [Am]gold rings
I called [Em]Champion to the window
And I pointed up above the [Am]trees
[Dm]That's when I [Am]heard my
[Dm]name in a scream
Coming from the woods, out there
I [C]let [Am]my d[Em]og run off the chain
[Dm]I lock[C]ed my door[Em] real
[Am]good with a chair

[Verse 3]
[Em]Don't go into that barn, [Dm]yea[Em]
[Am]Don't go [Em]into[Am][Em]
[C]tha[Em]t barn, yea

[Verse 4]
[Am]Everett [Em]Lee [Am]broke loose [Em]again
Its [Am]worse [C]than the [Em]time before
'Cause he's high on potato
and [Am]tulip wine
Fermented in the [Em]muddy [Am]rain of course
[Dm]A drunken wail a drunken train
Blew through the [Am]birdl[Dm]ess trees
Oh, [C]you're [Am]alone alright
Your alone alright
How did [Dm]I kn[Am]ow
[C]How did I [Am]know[Dm]

[Verse 5]
Don't go [C]into [Am]that [Em]barn,
[Dm]yea[Em][Am]
Don't go into [Em]that [Am]barn,
[Em]yea
[C][Em]

[Verse 6]
[C][Em]
An old [Am]black [Em]tree
Scratching up the sky
[C]With bony, cla[Em]w- like finger[Am]s
[Em]A ru[Am]sty black ra[Em]ke
[Am]Digging up the turnips
[Em]Of a m[Am]uddy c[Em]old grey s[C]ky
[Dm]Shiny tooth talons
Coiled for grabbing a stranger
Happening to come by
And the day went [Am]home [Em]early
And the sun [Am]sank down
Into the muck of [C]a d[Em]eep
dead [Am]sky[Em]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Don't go into that barn,
[C]yea[Em][Dm][Em]
[Am]Don't go [Em]into that barn,
yea
[C][Am][Em]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Bank since [Em]Saginaw [Am]Calinda was born
[Em]It's been cotton,
soybeans, tobacco [Am]and corn
[Em]Behind the porti[Am]coed house[Em]
Of [Am]a long dead farm
They [Dm]found [Am]the falling down [Em]timbers
Of [Am]a spooky old barn
[Dm]Out there like a slave ship
Upside down
Wrecked beneath the waves [Am]of a [Dm]rain
[Em]When the [Am]river is low
[Em]They find [Am]old bones and
[Dm]When they [C]plow they [Em]always
Dig up [Am]chains

[Verse 9]
[Am]Don't [Em]go into that barn, yea
[Am]Don't go [Em]into [Am]that barn,
[C]yea
[Em]

Did you bring [Dm]your [Em]knife?
[Am]Yes sir
[Em]Did they s[C]ee your [Em]face?
[C]No [Am]sir
Did [Dm]the Mom see you?

Did you go cross the river?
Yes sir
[Em]Did you fix [Am]your rake?[Em]
Yes [C]sir
[Dm]Did [C]you stay d[Am]own [F]wind?[Em]
[C]Yes [Am]sir
[C]Did you [Em]hide your [C]gun?[Em]
Yes sir
Did you smuggle your rum?

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