This basically a riff of D where the bass walks the open D string, the C on the A
string and then the open A string) with a long G chord on Peace in Peacemaker
the 2nd D in the riff comes immediately after the last word in each line

you can approximate the sound by playing the chords shown below

I’m a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even better than the way I feel
made to fit right in your hand
why i’ll never understand

I coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike
I coulda been a train rollin through the night
but they gave my voice such a terrible sound
that I wish they’d left me in the ground

I’m a peacemaker
don’t know how I got my name
I’m a peacemaker
if I don’t deserve the credit
why do I deserve the blame

When the lion lays down with the lamb
then you won’t find me in nobody’s hand
till that time I will remain
till the sinners lay down with the saints

I’m a peacemaker
don’t know how I got my name
I’m a peacemaker
if I don’t deserve the credit
why do I deserve the blame

I’m a peacemaker
don’t know how I got my name
I’m a peacemaker
if I don’t deserve the credit
why do I deserve the blame

I’m a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even better than the way I feel

Verse
There’s a place in a piney hollow
That no one but me can find
Some Choctaw built it in the hillside
Stone by stone in a simpler time

Verse
It’s a holy place, my daddy showed me
Back before this land of mine
On the blue side of the mountain
Where the sun don’t ever shine

Chorus
So deep and dark like a hurtin down in my heart
Maybe something there will show me some kind of sign
On the blue side of the mountain
Where the sun don’t ever shine.

I’m going back to a world of shadow
D (Kick it back up here)
Gotta find some peace for I lose my mind
On the blue side of the mountain
Where the sun don’t ever shine

Chorus
So deep and dark like a hurtin down in my heart
Maybe something there will show me some kind of sign
On the blue side of the mountain
Where the sun don’t ever shine

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I’ll ever get to heaven now

An angel came one winter dawn
you shoulda seen what she had on
wind was whistlin’ like its rain
she left again just like she came

Chorus

I move around a lot these days
honky tonks and broad freeways
the same thing that I’ve always done
but I’m older now and I get tired some

Chorus

Those who think they hold the cards
I send out my kind regards
Those who love to those who care
I’ll meet you down the road somewhere

Chorus 2X
