[Intro] Em C 

[First Part]

G                                Em     C 
Oh, got my hands tied around my back
G                             Em       C
And time put a rope around my head
G                               Em      C
And hung from the rafters of my fear
G                 Em 
Dark in the eyes, tryna face the world 
C                G  
I can’t bare to, my knees hit the ground and 
G
My hands start shaking
Em                C
Old feelings from new faces
G 
A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging

[Chorus]

Em             C         G  
Please help me chop this tree down
Em           C          G
Hold me from underneath
Em          C           G 
Words never once cut me down
Em            C       G 
Oh, don’t you cry for me

[Segunda Parte] Em C

G                        Em   C                 
I’ve seen an ocean runaway
G                                        Em    C
I’m torn from the truth that holds my soul
G                                 Em   C
I’m down in the grave where i belong
G               Em              C  
Oh what a ride, I dare to fight my devil
G
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble 
Em                 C
With my own hands, no shovel
G
I dug in the ground, now hanging above saying

[Chorus]

Em             C         G      
Please help me chop this tree down
Em           C           G
Hold me from underneath
Em          C           G
Words never once cut me down
Em            C       G
Oh, don’t you cry for me

[Bridge]

Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G
When the grovel got paved, finally I’m saved
Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(when the sun went down)
G
Hen the grovel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(It set the sky on fire)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(I saw an angel fly)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em                         C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(I never felt so high)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved

[Chorus]

Em             C         G
Please help me chop this tree down
Em           C          G
Hold me from underneath
Em          C        G   
Words never once cut me down
Em            C       G     
Oh, don’t you cry for me
Em            C       G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
Em            C       G  
Oh, don’t you cry for me
