[Intro]
 E5   D5   A5   E5x2
[VERSE]
E5Take your harvest from the D5soil
That is A5blacker than the color of the E5coal
E5But you’re never gonna keep anyD5thing you try to reap
If you A5pull it from the dusty Georgia E5bowl
[VERSE]
E5All the blossoms from the MD5agnolia
Have A5shriveled up and fallen to the E5ground
E5And I know I should have D5told you
That the A5rust was gonna tear your engine E5down
F#5 F#5 G#5 A5
[CHORUS]
E5When the stone’s above your B5head
And they’re A5driving in the E5nails
E5When you’re gone what kind of F#5song they gonna A5sing?
When the E5clay falls upon the D5pine
All that A5remains is what you leave beE5hind
E5When you’re lying with that F#5stone above your A5head
 E5   D5   A5   E5x2
[VERSE]
E5Sit and listen, tune them D5in
Hear the A5trials and the hardships of my E5kin
E5Taken by the tones of the "D5Cactus and the Rose"
And the rA5hymes that Garry Stewart used to sE5pin
[VERSE]
E5All the easy people running D5to me
You can A5see their chickens running through the E5yard
E5Put them on the table every D5Sunday
Then they A5bow their heads and give thanks to the E5Lord
F#5 F#5 G#5 A5
[CHORUS]
E5When the stone’s above your B5head
And they’re A5driving in the E5nails
E5When you’re gone what kind of F#5song they gonna A5sing?
When the E5clay falls upon the D5pine
All that A5remains is what you leave beE5hind
E5When you’re lying with that F#5stone above your A5head
[SOLO]
 E5   D5   A5      E5x2
F#5 F#5 G#5 A5
[CHORUS]
E5When the stone’s above your B5head
And they’re A5driving in the E5nails
E5When you’re gone what kind of F#5song they gonna A5sing?
When the E5clay falls upon the D5pine
All that A5remains is what you leave beE5hind
E5When you’re lying with that F#5stone above your A5head
E5When you’re lying with that F#5stone above your A5head
