[INTRO]
D G D Bm A

[VERSE]
A         D                   G             D
Well, the father of my father spent all his days
A                        G            D
Breaking the granite and carving the names 
D                          G            D
Cast off the metal singing rust in your sleep 
   A                           G 
And pay close attention to the company you keep 


[VERSE]
    D                    G            D
The eldest got up and he moved out of town 
       A                             G              D
To that place farther down that they don’t call the south 
D                     G          D    
Sister comes by every once in a while
    A                         G
But her best intentions were always in doubt 


[CHORUS 1]
          D            G         D
(He said) Bury my gold under the needles 
D                         A           D
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines 
Bm      G               D
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise 
A                          G             D
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky 
A                          G             D     
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky 


[VERSE]
   D                               G           D
The seeds that you plant they grow up and they bloom 
A                            G           D
Leave you punch drunk on the scent of perfume 
D                             G       D
Just like the wind they’ll be turning again 
A                    G
Even your closest of kin


[CHORUS 2]
G                  D            G         D
(So he told me to) Bury my gold under the needles 
D                         A           D
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines 
Bm      G               D
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise 
A                          G             D
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky 
A                          G             G
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky


[SOLO]

D G D Bm A  


[VERSE]
D                        G       D
Wearing a sidearm and a crooked smile 
       A                     G        D
Went to see Uncle John under overcast skies 
D                         G         D
Searching for contraband, wondering why 
A                     G
All of the bounty was nowhere in sight


[CHORUS 3]
G                      D            G         D
('Cause he told me to) Bury my gold under the needles 
D                         A           D
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines 
Bm      G               D
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise 
A                          G             D
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky 
A                          G             D
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky
A
Spirit so strong......
