Underneath the Ground Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]That's enough, my man,
it's time to clap our hands.
Call the [G]papers up tomorrow,
say we did the best we can.
'Cause our [C]doctor's in the hospital,
the poet just laid down.
There's [F]one good man I know,

[Verse 2]
and he can't talk right now.
[Am]I'd like to hear what you'd say [Dm]to me
if I was [F]bulletproof and free [G]again.
[Am]Or what you'd shout if I was dead [Dm]in the ground,
and buried [F]under another [G]name?

[Verse 3]
Or would you [Am]talk about if I loved her now?
[C]Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you [F]cry,
cry 'cause [Am]I was[C] gone?
Would you [Am]spit and hiss
and curse my name,
And [C]em barrass me to the
other graves?
Would you [F]lay right down with [Am]me,
[G]underneath the[C] ground?

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am]
[C][F]
[C]

[Verse 4]
Now [Am]who you think I am?
Worse than all the rest?
[G]That's what I'll be now,
just like no [C]one said.
Did anybody see that,
there's a crack right down my head.
But [F]mama, how they'll cheer for us,

[Verse 5]
while the blood drips down our legs.
[Am]I'd like to know if you could
[Dm]see through the soul
Like I could [F]see to your soul back [G]then.
[Am]And reach your hands through
all the [Dm]hurt and defenses,
Would you [F]still try if you knew I was [G]gone?

[Verse 6]
Or would [Am]you talk about if I loved her now?
[C]Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you [F]cry,
cry 'cause I [G]was gone?[C]
Would you [Am]spit and hiss and
curse my name,
And em[C]barrass me to the
other graves?
Would you [F]lay right down with [Am]me,
[G]und[C]ern[G]eath the gr[Am]ound?[C][F]
[C]
[F]Underneath the ground?
[Am][C][F]

[Verse 7]
[C]
(I wanna [Am]caution you to watch
[C]out for the wolves.
And for the mad, [F]mad weather.
I wan[C]na [F]cau[C]tio[Am]n you to watch
[C]out for the wolves.
[F]And for someday, [C]when you're older) Or
[F]would [Em]you [Am]talk about if I loved her now?
[C]Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you [F]cry,
cry 'cause I [C]was gone?
Would you [Am]spit and hiss and
curse my name,
And em[C]barrass me to the
other graves?
Would you [F]lay right down with me,
[C]undernea[G]th the[Am] ground?[C][F]
[C]
[F]Underneath [C]the ground?
[Am][C][F]

[Verse 8]
[C][F]
[C]I wanna tha[Am]nk you all
for your [C]courtesy.
I wanna [F]thank you all for watching us [C]bleed.
[G]I w[C]anna than[Am]k you all for your cour[C]tesy.
I wanna [F]thank you all for watching
us [C]bleed.
[F]Underneath the ground.
