The Old Purple Tin Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CI lived with my momma 'til I was sixteen

Old time relFigion, the sweetest of drCeams

And now that I'm aging my conscience is dAmimmed

In my left hand the BGible, in my rFight hand an old purple tCin

I wCent to the doctor 'cause I was unwell

He said 'My bFoy, you all shot to hCell.

I'm gon' write you a prescription for some pure heroAmin'

But I traded that sGuccour for a sFix pack of that old purple Ctin

Chorus

The oCld purple tin, the old purple tin

Sweet testament LoFrd to the state that I'm Cin

I've drunk it all day and I've drunk it all nAmight

The old purple tGin, Oh LFord, lights up my lCife

I Cam in prison, the light never shines

I can't see my FBible so dark is the Cnight

I'm waiting for letters that never get sAment

All my brothers and sGisters on the cForner with that old purple tCin

Chorus

The oCld purple tin, the old purple tin

Sweet testament LoFrd (sweet nine percent LoCrd) to the state that I'm in

I've drunk it all day and I've drunk it all nAmight

The old purple tGin, Oh LFord, lights up my lCife

The old purple tGin, Oh LFord, lights up my lCife
