The Ballad Of Black Charlie chords by 
Adie Grey
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
Black
Charlie's cabin sits high on a mountain,
Em
Am
looks on the valley below.
His people were here when
this place had no name
Em
Am
That was a long time ago
Now power lines climb up the
side of his mountain
Town stretches further each day
They want to build a new interstate bypass,
black charlies riding their way.
D
Dm
Am
He said you've taken the place where the sweet grasses grow,
Dm
Am
Em
Am
You've poisoned the wind
and the waters that flow
Em
Leave me my six feet of ground
Am
Em
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
The county commissioners
made a fair vote
Em
Am
The newspapers said it was so
You can't hold back
progress or civilization
Black
Em
Am
Charlie will have to go
They sent up a sheriff and deputies too
With shotguns and warrants and words
Black
Charlie said a
Scotch -Irish prayer
And he sang him a
Cherokee praise
Dm
D
He said, you've taken the place
Dm
Am
Where the sweet grasses grow
Em
Covered it up with your tan
Am
D
Dm
You've poisoned the wind
Am
and the waters that flow
E
Em
Leave me my six feet of ground
Am
Em
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
Nobody knows why the
shooting began
Em
Am
There's no living soul who will tell
All you can say is the real trouble started
Em
Am
The minute that black charlie fell
Dark clouds all gathered,
the skies opened up
And a hard rain began to come down
The water poured over the
side of his mountain
Till there wasn't much left of that town
D
Am
He said, you've taken the place
where the sweet grasses grow
Em
Covered it up with your town
Am
D
You've poisoned the wind
Am
and the waters that flow
Em
Leave me my six feet of ground
Am
Em
Am
Leave me my six feet of ground
Black
Charlie's ghost watches
over his mountain
Em
Am
His cabin is there to this day
The government built their
new interstate bypass
Em
Em
Am
They put it up ten miles away

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
