[Intro]
Am G F (x2)
STOP
[Verse 1]
N.C. Am The river has dried up... G F Am The passers by are, passin' time, oh-oh G F Am Sharpenin' their blades, on the whetstone
[Verse 2]
F G Am Their hungry lips betray their jackal eyes F G Am And the jackal eyes betray their murderous lies
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am They'll put a sack over your head F Am Like the sheriff in the square--hung 'im dead F Am But I will stand my ground until the end, oh-oh it's a E Dark day in the west G But honey, this is for the best
STOP
[Chorus]
N.C. Am C E G That I lay down in the dirt, wastin' away Am C E G I spoke softly to the worms, as they ate me from my grave Am C E G And I sleep under the ocean where your tears I cannot see Am C E G Don't cry into the water, 'cause it's wasted on me, hey-ey hey hey
Am C E G (x2)
STOP
Am G F Am
[Verse 3]
N.C. Am The broncos are unbroken G F Am And those scared sheep have taken the reigns G F Am While many nights, I've lied awake, tonight I take a rest for my own sake
[Verse 4]
F Am And I hear the outlaws travellin' in the night F Am And I hear their hoofbeats drummin up a fight
[Pre-chorus]
F Am But son, lay down your arms F Am And ride away from this farm F Am Promise me your sister will come to no harm, and E Pretend, when I am gone G That I planned it all along
[Chorus]
Am C E G That I lay down in the dirt, wastin' away Am C E G I spoke softly to the worms, as they ate me from my grave N.C. Am C E G And I burn in the fire, where pain is glory Am C E G Give my message to the children, and teach them my story Am C E G And I choose where to die, 'cause that's where we stay Am C E G But if ya find me in Hell, don't you dare take me away Am C E G (x2) Hey hey, oooh woah
Am C E G (x2)
[Outro]
Am C E G So I lay down in the dirt, wastin' away Am C E G I spoke softly to the worms, as they ate me from my grave N.C. Am C E G And I pray with a knife, that's as friendly as God Am C E G As she sharpens the blade, with a wink and a nod Am C E G And I choose where to die, 'cause that's where we stay Am C E G But if ya find me in Hell, don't you dare take me away
Am C E G (x2)
