[Verse 1]
G                  D           G
Well I took a trip down to the graveyard

G           D             G
To visit an old friend of mine

G               D           G             C
His stone was a mess but he couldn’t care less

C  G               D      G
To complain he was not so inclined
[Verse 2]
G            D           G
I sat in the grass right beside him

G                D           G
To tell him some stories I’d saved

G               D      G            C
When out of the blue a twister came through

G                    D           G
And that stone on my head it did cave
[Verse 3]
G                 D            G
Not sure just how long ‘fore I came to

G              D            G
But when I did he was right there

G                   D             G           C
In that bad fitting suit and that one missing tooth

C        G                  D         G
That got knocked out at the Bondville Fair
[Verse 4]
G            D               G
He said “Old friend how have you been?”

G                D          D
And I said “I’ve had better days”

G                  D             G               C
He said “Don’t you fret it could still get worse yet”

C          G             D           G
“There’s a decision that hasn’t been made”
[Bridge]
C                   G
You just never know how things will go

G    D                            G C G
Sometimes you should just stay in bed

C                             G
The road twists and turns but we never learn

G    D         C           G
That sooner or later we’re dead
[Verse 5]
G                   D              G
He said “The living believe in two choices.”

G             D          G
“Heaven or in some cases hell”

G              D            G        C
“The truth you see is there actually three”

C          G         D           G
“Should we bother to keep you at all”
[Verse 6]
G                  D          G
“Have you lived in service to others?”

G                     D           G
“Or have you skirted, cheated and lied?”

G               D              G           C
“The answer for you seems that neither are true”

C       G           D              G
“So I’m sending you back the other side”
[Bridge]
C                   G
You just never know how things will go

G    D                            G C G
Sometimes you should just stay in bed

C                             G
The road twists and turns but we never learn

G    D         C           G
That sooner or later we’re dead
[Verse 7]
G                 D           G C G
I came to with my face in the dirt

G           D          G   C G
Feeling somewhat controvert

G                    D       G           C
As I pushed back his stone I noticed the poem

C        G        D               G
“See you soon. No regrets. Didn’t hurt.”
