[VERSE 1]
A
I am not afraid when you call me down

                        E          A
Down the basement steps under the house
[REFRAIN]
 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground
[VERSE 2]
  A
Black cows are limping, the white dogs bark

                          E           A
Crickets are screaming, smoke in the barn

 A
Just like a field snake eating a mouse

                      E                   A
Just like a bluegill hooked through its mouth
[REFRAIN]
 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground
[VERSE 3]
 A
Cry for the toy trains lost in the snow

                           E          A
Cry for the dead deer surrounded by crows

 A
You call me softly down in the dark

                          E            A
Down where the red worms circle like sharks
[REFRAIN]
 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground
[VERSE 4]
A        
Under the black mud in your quiet house 

                       E           A
you have prepared my place to lie down

    A
A house in the rock where sorrows drown

                 E             A
Old man or baby make no more sound
[REFRAIN]
 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground
A
