Deathyard Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The dead yard's callin' me
Rumblin' round the track
Make the [Gm]rails my wire
[G]And my pillow iron black
And [C]I'll listen till I [G]hear
The [C]breakin' of [G]the drum
My soul will rest in peace
be[D]neath the crossroads, [G]too.
The death yard's calling me
to the dick walk, whistling Dixie.
Met a preacher on the path
to the harbor [Gm]out to s[G]ea.
He [C]said, hear that shore[G]bird scream,
[C]may your days [G]be few
Now no silver dollar will [D]buy
Come for [G]you
The Death Yard's callin' me
to that anchor that swings low,
cuts through the ocean floor
and digs a six -foot hole
when [C]you spend your drunken [G]hours
[C]starin' sober to remem[G]ber
The [C]distance between the
ceiling and the [D]floor
That's [G]when you find yourself
at the end of your rope
Gently swinging time
to a morning sung [Gm]slow[G][C][G][C][G]
[D]Go, go, go, go, go
