A A
A Dm
Well I was sent to a place in North Carolina
E A
To check up on a moonshine still
Dm
Still when I got there to my suprise
E
I could see a little light on the hill
D
Well the fire was glowing and really I was knowing
A
I was really hot on the track
D
But in D. C. they said it couldnt' be
E
But I'll be the one to bring em back
D
Cause I'm a revenooer man
A
I'm a revenooer man
D E
I got a badage in my pocket
A
And a gun on my hip
D E
Damn moonsh iners
A
Better never make a slip
D
Cause I'm a revenooer man
E A
Yeah I get em if I can
A
Well the moon was shining bright
Dm
As I looked down the river
E A
I noticed on the side of the hill
Dm
I can see a red light that was glowing bright
E
I knew it had to be a still
D
Well the people down the road said it wasn't far
A
But I better know someone
D
Cause when the moonshiners know I carry a star
E
I'll bet my bottom dollar I'll have 'em on the run
D
Cause I'm a revenooer man

A
And a gun on my hip

A Dm
Well when I got there the woods were bare
E A
Must've known I's on my way
Well I heard the branches shatter
Dm
And they started to scatter
E A
I heard two or three of them say
D
It's the revenooer man

Dragging and sha gging to an other hill
