This isn’t meant to be exactly as James Taylor has performed it but is rather the way I usually play it. Finger-picking isn’t required but it sure does sound nice! Capo 2 [Intro]    * (* = X20230)     *      *      * [Verse 1]          Even the old folks never knew  why they call it like they do;           I was wond’ring since the age of two  down on Copperline.             Copper head  copper beech copper kettles sitting side by each -           Copper coil cup o’ Georgia peach down on Copperline. [Chorus 1]           Half a mile down to Morgan Creek leaning heavy on the end of the week.           Hercules and a hog-nosed snake - down on the Copperline           We were down on Copperline.                        [Verse 2]           Warm summer night on the Copperline slip away past suppertime.           Wood smoke and moonshine down on Copperline.             One time I saw my daddy dance; watched him moving like a man in a trance.           He brought it back from the war in France down on Copperline.     [Chorus 2]           Branch water and tomato  wine creosote and turpentine           Sour mash and new moonshine down on Copperline;           We were down on Copperline.                        [Verse 3]           First kiss ever I took like a page from a romance book;           The sky opened and the earth shook down on Copperline.    [Chorus 3]           Took a fall from a windy height; I only knew how to hold on tight           And pray for love enough to last all night down on Copperline. [Bridge]           Day breaks and the boy wakes up and the dog barks and the bird sings           And the sap rises and the angels sigh....Yeah                            [Verse 4]           I tried to go back as if I could; all spec house and plywood           Tore up and tore up good down on Copperline.           It doesn’t come as a surprise to me;    it doesn’t touch my memory.           Man I’m lifting up and rising free down on Copperline. [Chorus 4]           Half a mile down to Morgan Creek I’m only livin’ for the end of the week.           Hercules and a hog-nosed snake - down on the Copperline           We were down on Copperline.                  Take me down on Copperline.
