Murder by Death – For Matt Davis (Guitar)

          Am
Oh let me lay

                Dm
          Down beside

        G                  Am
My dear friend who's gone away

Am                           Dm
Cover me o-ver with dirt and sod

       E7                  Am
Let me hasten my departure day

Am      Dm             Am
For how long? For that day?

              Dm             E7
When we'll be dancing on the storm clouds

          Am             Dm
Shake the rain  from the sky

         Am  G  Fm7
Onto our graaaaaves

             E                Am
We'll all be waiting for that day

Am                               Dm
Well Will Whitmore mixed up some shine

              E              Dm
Filled up the jug and met us walking

         Am
Down the line

    Dm        Am
The line, the line

          Dm               Am
He met us walking down the line

   Dm                 E
To join our friend in heaven

         Am
Down the line

    Dm        Am
The line, the line

          Dm               Am
He met us walking down the line

   Dm                 E
To join our friend in heaven

         Am
Down the line

Am        Dm            E
And every chain gang in heaven

     Am              C
They lifted up their arms

            Dm               Am
And made an aisle for him to walk

            E
Between the rows

         Dm                      E
And each plant bowed down toward him

      Am            C
As he passed, as he passed

                Dm            Am
They kept their necks in reverence

        E
For the preacher’s son

Am        Dm            E
And every chain gang in heaven

     Am              C
They lifted up their arms

            Dm               Am
And made an aisle for him to walk

            E
Between the rows

         Dm                      E
And each plant bowed down toward him

      Am            C
As he passed, as he passed

                Dm            Am
They kept their necks in reverence

        E
For the preacher’s son
