Db                Bbm
Boys, workin' on empty
Db
Is that the kinda way to face
Bbm
the burning heat?
Db                     Bbm
I just think about my baby
Db
I'm so full of love I could
Bbm
barely eat
Db
There's nothing sweeter than my
Bbm
baby
Db
I never want once from the
Bbm
cherry tree
Db                          Bbm
There's nothing sweet as my baby
Db
Give me toothaches just from
Bbm
kissin' me


[Chorus]
Bbm        Gb
When, my, time comes around
Db
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Bbm          Gb
No grave can hold my body down
Db
I'll crawl home to her


[Verse 2]
Db                  Bbm
That's when my baby found me
Db                    Bbm
I was three days on a drunken sin
Db                     Bbm
I woke with her walls around
Db                         Bbm
Nothin' in the room but an empty crib
Db                      Bbm
And I was burnin' up a fever
Db                         Bbm
I didn't care so much how long I lived
Db                        Bbm
And I swear I thought I dreamed her
Db
Never asked me once about the
Bbm
wrong I did


[Chorus]
Bbm        Gb
When, my, time comes around
Db
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Bbm          Gb
No grave can hold my body down
Db
I'll crawl home to her
Bbm        Gb
When, my, time comes around
Db
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Bbm          Gb
No grave can hold my body down
Db
I'll crawl home to her


[Interlude]
Bbm  Gb  Db
Ooh-oh
Bbm  Gb  Db
Ooh-ooh-oh


[Chorus]
Bbm       Gb
When, my, time comes around
Db
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Bbm          Gb
No grave can hold my body down
Db
I'll crawl home to her
Bbm        Gb
When, my, time comes around
Db
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Bbm           Gb
No grave can hold my body down
Db
I'll crawl home to her
