D Dm
Graveyard bound i'm graveyard bound they gonna lay me down,
G D
on my back beneath the cold, lonesome ground
A D
aint no use in runnin' round, with a man that's graveyard bound.
Dm
well i woke up on Friday, lying on my ---- board
G D
it seems somehow i wound up down at the city morgue
A D
I said its cold in here they gave me a blanket to keep me warm.
Dm
now, the man that preached my funeral i met him down at the city jail
G D
i guess you folks don't know that pasture very well
A D
but you can tell that so-called preacher, ill meet him down at the gates of hell.
D, Dm, G, D, A, D
(scream-like break)
D Dm
ol' Jimmy had the TB, Hank had a broken heart
G D
ol' Jimmy died of the TB, Hank died with a broken heart
A D
but down at the graveyard, you cant tell 'em apart.
D, Dm, G, D, A, D
(scream-like break)
D Dm
They buried me on Sunday, threw dirt down in my face
G D
and nobody came to see me, my god, what a lonesome grave
A D
so i got up on Monday and walk right out of that place
D Dm
Graveyard bound i'm graveyard bound they gonna lay me down,
G D
on my back beneath the cold, lonesome ground
A D
aint no use in runnin' round, with a man that's graveyard bound.
D, A, D,A,D
