On Top Of Old Smokey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On [C]top[D] of[G] a smoky,[C]
all covered [G]with snow
I lost my true [D]lover by courtin' too [G]slow
For courtin's a [C]pleasure,
but partin' [G]is greed
And a false -hearted [D]lover
is worse than [G]a thief
[Eb]A gr[Ab]een bee will rob[Db] you
and take what you [Ab]say
A false hearted [Eb]lover[Bbm]
[Eb]will send you to your [Ab]grave
He'll hug [Db]you and kiss you
and tell you more [Ab]lies
Than cross ties on [Eb]a railroad
or stars in the [Ab]skies
[E]Your [A]grave will de[D]cay you
and turn you to [A]dust
Not a boy in 10 [E],000
a poor girl can [A]trust
On top of all [D]smoky, all covered [A]with snow
I lost my true [E]lover by a too slow.
[A]
