[Em]

[Verse 1]
I got a let[B]ter [Em]this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead
I got a let[A]ter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[B]Said "Hurry, [A]Hurry because
the gal you love [Em]is dead"
Well I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin'
on the cooling board
I packed [A]up my suitcase
An[Em]d I [A]took off down the ro[Em]ad
[B]When I got there she was[A] layin' on the cooling boa[Em]rd[D]

standing around the burial ground

'till they began to let her down

You know it's so hard to love
Someone that don't love you

Someone that don't love you

[A]Where my baby used to lay
