Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
There's a [C]little [G]rosewood [C]casket
Sitting on a [G]marble [C]stand
There's a package [F]of love [C]letters
Written [G]by my true love's [C]hand
Go and bring them [G]to me, [C]brother,
come and sit upon [G]my [C]bed.
Lay your head upon [F]my pil[C]low
while my [G]aching heart moans [C]dead.
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][F][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Read them gently [G]to me
[C]Oh, brother,
read them till I [Em]fall [G]asl[C]eep,
fall asleep to [F]wake in [C]heaven.
Oh, dear [G]brother, do not [C]weep.
Last Sunday I [G]saw him [C]walking
with a lady [G]by his [C]side
And I thought I [F]heard him [C]tell her
she could [G]never be his [C]bride[G]
[C][F][G][C][F][C][G][C]
He is coming [G]up the path[C]way,
Brother me,
Meet him [G]at the [C]door,
tell him that I [F]will forgive [C]him
if he'll [G]court that girl no [C]more.
When I'm dead and [G]in my [C]coffin
and my friends all [F]gathered [G]rou[C]nd
And my narrow [F]grave is [C]ready
in some [G]lonesome[C]
[G]churchyard [C]ground
There's a little [G]rosewood [C]casket
sitting on a [G]marble [C]stand.
There's a package [F]of old [C]letters
written [G]by my true love, [C]Pam.
