[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)
