Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]He [C]too[G]k[C][G][D][G]
all his old love letters
and he [C]bound them all togeth[G]er
But I know he knew what [D]every letter [G]said
A picture and a gold band
he [C]took from off his [G]old hand
And then he drew a [D]little sign that [G]read
[C]Here [G]lies the hea[C]rt of Amos Bro[G]wn
And he dug a little hole
there in the ground.
One [C]by one he kissed his treasures
as he slowly laid them [G]down,
saying here [C]lies the heart
[G]of [D]Amos Bro[G]wn.
Pretty soon he planted flowers,
and I've [C]seen him sit for [G]hours
Just staring at that [D]little patch of [G]clay
How much he must have loved her,
how [C]much he must have [G]suffered
For I know he told the truth
[D]each time he'[G]d say
Here lies the [C]heart of Amos [G]Brown
And they laughed behind his back
all over town
The old [C]man who put his memories
in a box deep in the [G]ground
Saying here [C]lies the heart [G]of
[D]Amo[G]s Bro[C]wn[G][D][G]
The story was, a rounder
Had [C]passed through town and [G]found her
And before any[D]body knew [Dm]it,
he'd [G]stolen her away
The old man never found another,
and he died [C]still loving my moth[G]er.
And it broke my heart to
[D]hear my daddy [G]say,
[C]Here [G]lies the hea[C]rt of Amos Bro[G]wn.
And I doubt a sadder story can be found
Than the [C]old man who put his memories
in a box deep in the [G]ground
Saying here [C]lies the heart [D]of [G]Amos Brown
