The Ghost Of Eli Renfro

E D E A A A G A A A G D A Eli Renfro killed his wife with a long sharp bowie knife, D E A E he hacked her up and put her in the ground. A G D A Death by hanging was to be his fate and old Eli, filled with hate, D D E E E put a curse on the entire town. E D E A Can't you hear, can't you hear when the moon is bright and clear, E E from time to time. E D E A A It's old Eli dragging chains and moaning peoples names A G A A and I just hope and I pray that he never thinks of mine. A G D A D E A E A G D A D E A A A G I was walking the high road late last night, D A the stars were out and the moon was bright, D E A E the wind was blowing, you could hear for half a mile. A G Then an awful sound came through the trees, D A it chilled my blood and it shook my knees, D D E E E the kinda thing that makes a man run wild. E D E A Can't you hear, can't you hear when the moon is bright and clear, E E from time to time. E D E A A It's old Eli dragging chains and moaning peoples names A G A A and I just hope and I pray that he never thinks of mine. A G D A D E A E A G D A D E A A A A A G So, if you get home before I do, D A don't look back cause I'm coming through, D E A E I'm packing my things and I'm leaving far away. A G They say you can't run away from a curse, D A maybe this time I'll be the first, D D E E E ain't nobody here gonna make me stay. End-Chorus E D E A Can't you hear, can't you hear when the moon is bright and clear, E E from time to time. E D E A A It's old Eli dragging chains and moaning peoples names A G A A and I hope and I pray that he never thinks of mine. E D E
