CAPO 1st FRET [Intro] Dm [Verse] Dm C Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines G Dm And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time Dm C Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around G Dm And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around [Chorus] Dm C Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains G Dm But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name [Verse] Dm C Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone? G Dm Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone? Dm C Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there G Dm Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair [Chorus] Dm C Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains G Dm But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name [Verse] Dm C He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay G Dm He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray Dm C I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down G Dm Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found Dm C I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade G Dm Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid [Break] [Chorus] Dm C Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains G Dm But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name [Chorus] Dm C Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains G Dm But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
