Red Clay Halo chords by Gillian Welch

RED CLAY HALO 	  	 CAPO IV 	 C   G   C


C
Well the girls all dance, with the boys from the city
                                  G 
But they don't care to dance with me
C                
Well it ain't my fault, that the fields are muddy
                 G         C   hold 4 extra counts
And the red clay stains my feet

C
It's under my nails, and it's under my collar,
                          G 
And it shows on my Sunday clothes
C                
Though I do my best with soap and water,
                G          C   hold 4 extra counts
That dammed old dirt won't go 

Chorus
F                           C 
But when I pass through the pearly gates
G                       C 
Will my gown be gold instead
F                                C
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
               G           C    hold 4 extra counts
And a red clay halo for my head

Inst. = verse 

C
It's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer
                         G 
When it rolls in crimson tide
C                
Til the trees and leaves and the cows are the colour
                   G        C   hold 4 extra counts
Of the dirt on the mountain side

Chorus

C
Now Jordan's banks are red and muddy,
                        G 
And the rollin water is wide
C                
But I got no boat,
C                
So I'll be good and muddy
                 G      C   hold 4 extra counts
When I get to the other side

Chorus
Last two lines :-
I'll take a red clay robe and red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
