  Put no stDone at my head,   No floGwers on my tomb
  No goDld plated sign,    In a marAbled pillered room
  The oDne thing I want,   When they lGay me in the ground
  When I dDie,      TAear my stillhouse dDown
  Oh, TGear my stillhouse down  LGet it go to rust
  Don't leDave no trace of the hiDding place,  Where I mDade that evil stDuff
  For aGll my time and money,  No prGofit did I see
  That oDld copper keDttle was the deAath of DmeD  
  When DI was a child,   Way bGack in the hills
  I lauDghed at the men,  Who teAnded those stills
  But that oDld mountian shine,  It caGught me somehow
  When I dDie,    TAear my stillhouse dDown
  Oh, TGear my stillhouse down  LGet it go to rust
  Don't leDave no trace of the hiDding place,  Where I mDade that evil stDuff
  For aGll my time and money,  No prGofit did I see

  'Cause SaDtan he lives,   In my whiAskey machine
  And Din my time of dying,  I kGnow where I'm bound

TEAR MY STILLHOUSE DOWN

D D D D

INTRO:

D G

Put no stone at my head, No flowers on my tomb

D A

No gold plated sign, In a marbled pillered room

D G

The one thing I want, When they lay me in the ground

D A D

When I die, Tear my stillhouse down

G G

Oh, Tear my stillhouse down Let it go to rust

D D D D

Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, Where I made that evil stuff

G G

For all my time and money, No profit did I see

D D A D D

That old copper kettle was the death of me

D G

When I was a child, Way back in the hills

D A

I laughed at the men, Who tended those stills

D G

But that old mountian shine, It caught me somehow

D A D

When I die, Tear my stillhouse down

G G

Oh, Tear my stillhouse down Let it go to rust

D D D D

Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, Where I made that evil stuff

G G

For all my time and money, No profit did I see

D D A D D

That old copper kettle was the death of me

D G D A

[INST] AS VERSE

D G D A D

D G

Oh, Tell all your children, That Hell ain't no dream

D A

'Cause Satan he lives, In my whiskey machine

D G

And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound

D A D

When I die, Tear my stillhouse down

G G

Oh, Tear my stillhouse down Let it go to rust

D D D D

Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, Where I made that evil stuff

G G

For all my time and money, No profit did I see

D D A D D

That old copper kettle was the death of me

G G D D

[OUTRO]

G G D A D D D A D D D

That old copper kettle was the death of me
