Turpentine Chords

[Verse]
G                     C
Way down south in the piney woods
          G              D
There’s a gospel quartet singing like they should
          G                        C
Got their hair slicked back, white suits so fine
       G                         D     G
At the Wednesday night revival - turpentine
 
G                             C
Got the rolling bass, got the baritone
      G                           D
Got a ringing high tenor reaching Jesus on the throne
      G                          C
And a smooth lead singer got the women crying
G                     D     G
Sweat and salvation - turpentine
 
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Turpentine, turpentine
G             D
Save my soul, spirit of the pine
       G                   C
It’s a masterpiece waiting to be signed
G                     D     G
Cleaning my brushes - turpentine

[Verse]
G                     C
Spoonful of sugar and hold your nose
      G                       D
It’ll kill everything but the holy ghost
       G                         C
It’s a pine tar communion, body, blood and wine
       G                          D     G
In the folds of the choir robes - turpentine
 
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Turpentine, turpentine
G             D
Save my soul, spirit of the pine
       G                   C
It’s a masterpiece waiting to be signed
G                     D     G
Cleaning my brushes - turpentine

[Verse]
G
I’m sitting in the back pew
C
Thumbing through the hymns
G                           D
Trying to figure out how to write me one of them
G                            C
I got a story to tell, could do some testifying
    G                                D     G
But God ain’t given me the calling - turpentine
 
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Turpentine, turpentine
G             D
Save my soul, spirit of the pine
       G                   C
It’s a masterpiece waiting to be signed
G                     D     G
Cleaning my brushes - turpentine
 
 
[Verse]
G                          C
When they lay me down in a minor key
         G               D
And they shovel my words in on top of me
        G                         C
I’ll be in that quartet with some friends of mine
   G                        D     G
An eternity of Wednesdays - turpentine
 
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Turpentine, turpentine
G             D
Save my soul, spirit of the pine
       G                   C
It’s a masterpiece waiting to be signed
G                     D     G
Cleaning my brushes - turpentine
