Mayhayleys House by Lonesome River Band
Mayhayleys House
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Gm Cm
[Verse I]
Gm Dm
Down in the shade of the knotty pine
Gm
Lives an old woman with a marble hide
Dm
Lone as a haint, thin as vine
F Gm
And worn as bible pages
[Verse II]
Dm
She was born with a veil -- a seer's sign
Gm
A preacher's tongue and a lawyer's mind
Dm
She'd tell your fortune for a buck and a dime
F Gm
The oracle of ages
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
Hey, let's go down
Cm Gm
Let's go down to Mayhayley's house
Cm Bb Dm Cm
They say she's cra-zy
Gm Dm
Hey, whatcha wanna know now
Cm Gm
Ask Mayhayley and you'll find out
Cm Bb Dm Cm
They say she's cra-zy
[Verse III]
Gm Dm
John Mollis was a wealthy man
Gm
Cattle, people, liquor, land
Dm
He caught wind of a thieving hand
Gm
And he killed the man who wronged him
Gm Dm
When he heard the sheriff was asking around
Gm
He went out to Mayhayley's house
Dm
Asking if he'd be found out
Gm
She said death is coming
[Solo]

[Verse IV]
Gm Dm
Well the sheriff knew of Mayhayley, too
Gm
And when he'd run near out of clues
Dm
He went to see her on a full moon
Gm
And said "I need to find a body"
Gm Dm
She took hairs from a possom's leg
Gm
Spat 'em into the firing red
Dm
Of the flames fore wild and hung her head
Gm
And said "ashes on the water"
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
Hey, let's go down
Cm Gm
Let's go down to Mayhayley's house

[Verse V]
Gm Dm
Well the sheriff found the ash and bone
Gm
On a creek bed by the Wallace home
Dm
He jailed him, trialed him, and sent him on
Gm
His way by way of life
Gm Dm
Mayhayley saw her fortune grow
Gm
People lined up and down the road
Dm
They found out things they didn't know
Gm
When they keep the hid from hiding
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
Hey, let's go down
Cm Gm
Let's go down to Mayhayley's house
Cm Bb Dm Cm
They say she's cra-zy
Gm Dm
Hey, whatcha wanna know now
