Great song off the OCMS Remedy Album. It was released on Memorial Day 2014. In the Key of D with a
simple 4/4 time rhythm. The verses are 4 counts of D, 4 counts of G, 8 counts of A. This repeats pretty
much throughout the song. The bridge is a bit different, but if you listen you will hear the rhythm.
Hope you guys enjoy.

Verse 1:
D G A The service went the way it should have gone, no one talk too loud or cried too long D G Except your mommas new boy friend, he went on and on A while they laid you in the ground. D G A Right about then a truck back fired and all the boys they flinched their heads. D G A Yeah that shook me up I guess. I've been home a month now and I still can't get no rest.
Chorus:
D G A I'm standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend D G A Nothing much to say, except sorry it turned out like it did G A D Twenty-one guns for twenty-one years and American Flags in the wind G A D Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

Verse 2:
D G A Barbecue grills and lawn mowers, kids on four-wheelrs and ice cream trucks D G A Yeah they buried you on a Saturday, Georgia lost to Tennessee, you would have liked that I know D G A Afterwords we went to O'Charley's, Your momma's boyfriend got drunk saying, it should have been me D G I wish it was, him I mean. A So I went home got drunk and watched the TV

Bridge:
Bm Em A D Hey there's only one road that leads out of this town and it comes right back Bm A So I just drive in circles, circles, and I try not to blow my stack F#m G Out at the mall and the motor mile, it's just as lonesome as a sea D A Man the girls 'round here, the girls 'round here are just as hopeless as they used to be
