E E7 In the pines, in the pines A G Where the sun don't ever shine, B7 E I would shiver the whole night through. [Verse 2] E E7 A G My girl, my girl, where will you go? B7 E I'm goin' where the cold wind blows. E E7 In the pines, in the pines A G Where the sun don't ever shine, B7 E I would shiver the whole night through.

E E7 In the pines, in the pines A G Where the sun don't ever shine, B7 E I would shiver the whole night through. [Instrumental] E E7 A G B7 E E E7 A G B7 E [Verse 4] E E7 A G My father was a hard workin' man B7 E Killed a mile and a half from here.

E E7 In the pines, in the pines A G Where the sun don't ever shine, B7 E I would shiver the whole night through.
