[Verse 1]
Am          G6            Em             Am
Silenced by death in the grave, ah ah ah ah

Am  G6              Em            Am
W B Yeats couldn't save, ah ah ah ah

Am          G6
Why did you stand here

G6        Em
Were you sickened in time

Em            Am
But I know by now

Am          G6              Em
Why did you sit here, ah ah ah
[Chorus]
Em     Am    G6
In the grave

G6       Em
In the grave, grave, grave

       Am     G6
In the grave

       Em
In the grave, grave, grave
(W. B. Yeats "Second" Spoken)
Am
Why should I blame her,

G6
that she filled my days

Em
With misery or that she would of late

Am                      G6
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways

Em                                    Am
Or hurled the little streets upon the great

             G6
Had they but courage

Em
Equal to desire
[Verse 2]
Am             G6             Em            Am
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay, ah ah ah ah

Am             G6       Em            Am
But she had MacBride anyway, ah ah ah ah

Am
and you sit here with me

       G6
on the Isle Innisfree

         Em
and your writing down anything

              Am
But I know by now

            G6              Em
Why did you sit here, ah ah ah
[Chorus]
Em     Am    G6
In the grave

G6       Em
In the grave, grave, grave

       Am     G6
In the grave

       Em
In the grave, grave, grave
(spoken)
Am           G6
Why should I blame her,

Em                                  Am
Had they but courage equal to desire
