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

[Verse 1]
Sad [G]day in
this town as we [C]buried
T .J.
[G]Brown
Good man spent his life on the
[D]Cairo ferry [G]line
He was just a man,
nothing [C]grand, just a [G]man
But I never heard him treat [D]no one un[G]kind
He ferried
Model
A's to the
Cape
[C]Girardeau shore
[G]Way before my papa eve[D]r had a son[G]
When I was eight or nine I
would [C]sit by his back [G]porch
He would tell me stories from [D]back in
World
War [G]I
Let him [C]down slow, [G]in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, [A]while I dry my [D]eyes
[G]Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, it's [A]old
T [D].J.'s [G]last ride
E .J.'s wife passed on,
it was [C]back in 61
[G]Seems like yesterday, my my,
[D]how the time does [G]fly
Still I would drop by and we'd
[C]sit and remin[G]isce
And I'd stare across the river
so as [D]not to watch him [G]cry
Let him [C]down slow, [G]in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow [A]while I dry my [D]eyes
[G]Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, it's [A]old
T [D].J.'s [G]last ride
Well, now, here we stand with our
[C]memories [G]impressed
Mourning and crying down
[D]to the youngest [G]child
Lord, all that's gathered
here will remem[C]ber
T .J.
[G]Brown
He will miss his river and
[D]we'll miss his old [G]smile
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, [A]while I grind my [D]eyes
[G]Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, told
[A]TJ's [D]las[G]t rhyme
Let him [C]down [G]slow, in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, [A]how I drive my [D]eyes
[G]Let him [C]down slow, [G]in the [C]ground slow
[G]Let him [C]down slow, it's [A]old
[D]DJ's [G]last ride
Let him down slow, in the ground
