[Verse 1]
D One time I drove to see a girl across the country A D One night as I was driving through New Mexico D I had the windows wide open it was cold and I was crying A G D And I laid her letter on the radio
[Verse 2]
D Then I stopped outside of Tahoe through this tiny mining town A G D At a diner to refill for the ride D And in the wind I heard this crying like a heart broke right in two A G D I turned my collar up and went inside
[Verse 3]
D Where I saw this smiling waitress joshing friendly with these truckers A G D They'd give her pats and she'd give them shoves D I said miss what's that awful crying everybody laughed and said A G D It's the tomb of the unknown love
[Pre-chorus]
G D And then they pointed out the window to this stone G D All by itself beneath the tree beside the hill G D And on that winter night I read these words alone A A7 These words that are haunting me still it said
[Chorus]
D G D Here lies a young man struck down in his prime G D A7 D By the awesome burning power of love D G D He couldn't stand this true love cheating so he shot the girl down G D A7 D They hung him from that tree up above A E I know that local folks say it's the wind A D I know it's crying from the tomb of the unknown love
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
A D So I drove on to my destination A D I did the job my heart commanded of me
And when the sheriff sirens came I didn't even try to fight
A D They counted ten I came out at three
[Verse 6]
D So now I guess tomorrow morning warden reads some kind of paper D A G D How I'm gonna pay the state for what I've done D Hey then they'll put the shackles on me and we'll take a little walk D A D They won't have to drag me cause it's said and done
[Pre-chorus]
G D And maybe someday they can put me up a stone G D All by itself beneath the tree beside the hill G D And lovers everywhere can come and read along A A7 These words that will give them a chill and it'll say
[Chorus]
D G D Here lies a young man struck down in his prime G D A7 D By the awesome burning power of love D G D He couldn't stand this true love cheating so he shot the girl down G D A7 D They hung him from that tree up above A E I know that local folks say it's the wind A D I know it's crying from the tomb of the unknown love
