[Intro 1]
[A][F][E][A][F][E][A]

[Verse 1]
There was [F]no other [E]girl in the coun[A]try,
in the [F]country there [E]was [A]no thief
[F]When are you [E]coming to Bo[A]ston,
Miss [F]Mary a [E]long way [F]from home
And the [E]first time that I met [F]you,
you were [E]standing alone on [F]the steps
Con[E]fused, ragged and bare[F]foot,
you've [E]taken [C]whatever

[Verse 2]
Sound the dead [G]march,
take me to [F]the churchyard for all that [G]I'm worth[C]
My poor head is [G]aching,
my poor heart is break[F]ing
Now you're raking me over with [E]earth
You [F]gave me a line [E]of talk,
[F]you wouldn't tell me your [E]name
[F]There was a letter [E]of Ravens,
[F]I guessed it was Magdale[E]ne

[Verse 3]
When I [F]got [E]to [A]Illinois asked a [F]man
they [E]called the bar[A]tender
Which [F]gold mines [E]I should a[A]void
She [F]whispered [E]softly in my [F]ears,
that you [E]can't get there from [F]here
[E]I saw the cross on [F]her chain had a
[E]hundred degrees below zer[F]o
[E]I died for that [C]woman

[Verse 4]
Sound the dead [G]march,
take me to [F]the churchyard for all that [G]I'm worth[C]
My poor head is [G]aching,
my poor heart [F]is breaking
Now you're raking me over with [E]earth
At the [F]top of the hill I'll be sleep[E]ing,
let the [F]cold drown me in my [E]bed
[F]The tomb stone for my pil[E]low,
let the [F]moonlight fall on my [E]spread
