Intro: Em C Am G Em C Am G*
        Em                               C
When I was a babe I fell down in the holler

        Am                         G
When I was a girl I fell into your arms

       Em                                        C
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color

        Am                                   G
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms

      Em                                            C
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey

        Am                                         G
You stole and you gambled and I said you should

         Em                                               C
We sang for our suppers and we drank up our money

          Am                                    G
Then one day you left, saying I was no good

           Em                                         C
Well, all right, I'm bad, but then, you're no prize either

         Am                                  G
All right, I'm bad, but then, that's nothing new

        Em                                             C
You say you won't love me, well I won't love you neither

         Am                                 G
Just let me remind you who I am to you

          Em                                        C
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping

       Am                                       G
And I am the one who knows how you were brave

       Em                                       C
And I am the one who knows what you said sleeping

     Am                                         G
I'll take that and more when I go to my grave

      Em                                  C
It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under

       Am                                 G
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone

        Em                                C
So who will you turn to tomorrow, I wonder

        Am                                       G
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own

    Em                              C
I am the one who you let see you weeping

     Am                                 G
I know the soul that you struggle to save

        Em                                     C
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reaping

           Am                                  G
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
