CIn the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand Amstills
And they G7found the biggest Fone outside of Blue CField
A little peaceful country town nothin' else for miles Amaround
I saw G7whiskey run like Fwater down through CBlue Field
My trouble Fstarted on that G7Tuesday afterCnoon
The sheriff Ftold me federal G7men will be here Csoon
He said we've Fcome up with a G7plan to catch CBlue Field's slickest Amman
And we G7will as sure as FI'm the sheriff of CBlue Field
On a FWednesday I had G7ninety jars to Ccap
Didn't Fthink they'd had the G7time to set the Ctrap
In the Fbrush I heard a G7sound and I Cswiftly hit the Amground
One G7live shot might send ‘Fem runnin' back to CBlue Field
Not a soul suspected me I was the sheriff's depuAmty
I'll make G7whiskey but God Fknows I'd never Ckilled
I didn't know he was that close when I let my shotgun Amgo
But I G7found I killed my Ffriend the sheriff of CBlue Field
I Frecall how my G7mama and my girlfriend Ccried
When they Fleft with me for G7Roanoke for the Ctrial
It's my Flast night in this G7cell the last Cstory I will Amtell
While I G7sit on death row Fdreamin' about CBlue Field
AmBlue Field G7Blue Field oh CBlue Field

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

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

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

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
