Copper Kettle

Bob Dylan


Tom: Am

C         G      C         
Get you a copper kettle,   

C         G      C
Get you a copper coil,
E                     Am
Fill it with new-made corn mash 
    Dm                G
And never more you'll toil.

CHORUS:
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper
Am        C       E
while the moon is bright,
Am                G
Watch them jugs a-filling
Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.

VERSE 2:

C           G         C
Build you a fire with hickory, 
C        G       C
Hickory, ash and oak,
E                     Am
Don't use no green or rotten wood; 
        Dm             G
They'll get you by the smoke.

CHORUS:
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper
Am        C       E
while the moon is bright,
Am                G
Watch them jugs a-filling
Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.

VERSE 3:
C         G       C
My daddy, he made whiskey; 
C        G             C
My grand-daddy, he did too.
E                Am
We ain't paid no whiskey tax 
      Dm               G
Since seventeen ninety-two.

CHORUS:
       Am               Em
As you lay there by the juniper
Am        C       E
while the moon is bright,
Am                G
Watch them jugs a-filling
Am     Em       Am
In the pale moonlight.
