Ruston Kelly – Dark And Bloody Ground Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
C#m B A C#m

[Verse 1]
C#m                       B
I've been going like a quarry
slave at night
A
All busted down and
           E
burning for my bed
C#m
I've been thinking about a
           B
woman in a wild Kentucky town
A
Where the mountains
           E
are high near Harlan,
B                     A        B
where the whirlpools twirl on down
A           E            B
where my secret can be found
        E          B       A
In the dark and bloody ground...

[Verse 2]
C#m
Oh how I missed you
B
Oh how I've cried
A                         E
I'd like to lay down by my side
B                            C#m
Love you just once before I die
     B       A
And I'd be gentle,
              E
and I'd never hurt you
G#m7                  G#7   C#m
And God might send a moonbeam
B       A               E
Lay us down in pleasant dreams
A               E       B
Whatsoever things are lovely
A               E       B
Whatsoever things are true
E              B       C#m
Whatsoever things are kind and
    B           A
pure thank you, these things...
    C#m                    B
And God might send down a moonbeam
    A
And lay us down in pleasant dreams.

[Verse 3]
E
Dewy was my best friend,
   B
he was tall
C#m
Stood six foot nine
                  A
against the wall
E
We both loved the same girl,
     B
but Dewy he went bad
C#m                  A
And I guess you could
              B
say it made one mad
         C#m               B
He didn't have to do those awful
things to you
A                        E
Yeah Dewy really made me sick
      C#m
But I guess it takes
               B
two heels to click
           C#m
I took my nine pound hammer,
 B                      E
swung it hard and swung it round
           C#m                B
I kicked him in the temple, watched
                 E       A
him fall to the ground wooaaahhhh
C#m                    A
My blade found its mark in the dark,
E              B
and that blood flowed in the sand
A            E       B
From that tall Kentucky man
C#m                           B
Oh hell hath no fury like the blues
A
When a man's got
             B
on his killing shoes
      C#         B     A       B
In the dark and bloody ground
      E          B     A       B
In the dark and bloody ground
      C#        B     A       B
In the dark and bloody ground
      E                   A
In the dark and bloody ground
