Intro: Bm Bm D G
BmThat's enough, my man, it's time to clap our hands.
ACall the papers up tomorrow, say we did the best we can.
DCause our doctor's in the hospital, the poet just laid down.
GThere's one good man I know, and he can't talk right now.
BmI'd like to hear what you'd Emsay to me if I was Gbulletproof and free againA.
BmOr what you'd shout if I was Emdead in the ground, and buried Gunder another name?A
BmOr would you talk about if I loved her now?
DTell my sins to God out loud.
GWould you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?A
BmWould you spit and hiss and curse my name,
DAnd embarrass me to the other graves?
GWould you lay right down with me, Aunderneath the ground?
Bm Bm D G
BmNow who you think I am? Worse than all the rest?
AThat's what I'll be now, just like no one said.
DDid anybody see that? There's a crack right down my head.
GBut mama, how they'll cheer for us, while the blood drips down our legs.
BmI'd like to know if you could Emsee through the soul like I could Gsee to your soul back thenA.
BmAnd reach your hands through all the Emhurt and defenses, would you Gstill try if you knew I was goneA?
BmOr would you talk about if I loved her now?
DTell my sins to God out loud.
GWould you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?A
BmWould you spit and hiss and curse my name,
DAnd embarrass me to the other graves?
GWould you lay right down with me, Aunderneath the ground?
Underneath the ground?
Tab 3 x2
Bm(I wanna caution you to Dwatch out for the wolves.
GAnd for the mad, mad weatherA.
BmI wanna caution you to Dwatch out for the wolves.
GAnd for someday, Awhen you're older)
BmOr would you talk about if I loved her now?
DTell my sins to God out loud.
GWould you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?A
BmWould you spit and hiss and curse my name,
DAnd embarrass me to the other graves?
GWould you lay right down with me, Aunderneath the ground?
Underneath the ground?
Tab 4 x2 or Tab 3 x2
BmI wanna thank you all for your couDrtesy.
I wanna Gthank you all for watching us blAeed.
BmI wanna thank you all for your couDrtesy.
I wanna Gthank you all for watching us blAeed.
Underneath the groundD.
