[Intro]
A  D  A  G  D  A  A  A
[Verse 1]
AI wake up to another day
Sun won't shine, sky's full of gray
I've got to Dgo, lace up my Ashoes
I've got them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
AWe were wed, was in the spring
Flowers bloomed, the birds did sing
Of life to Dcome, I never Aknew
That I'd have them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
[Interlude]
A  D  A  G  D  A  A  A
[Verse 2]
ASo fair and kind, she brought me joy
Soon she gave a baby boy
But from our Dhome, fate did Aremove
And brought them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
AWith broken hearts, we labored on
Day after day, here on this farm
We marked the Dspot with a stone so Asmooth
And fought them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
[Interlude]
A  D  A  G  D  A  A  A
[Verse 3]
AMy darling died of a broken heart
From her child, she could not part
I laid her Ddown, in an earthen Atomb
She shed them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
A  A
[Outro]
AUpon that spot, I often gaze
And place new flowers on their graves
Nothing Dleft on earth to Alose
Except them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues
I'll lose them Glow, down, Dcold, graveyard Ablues

[Intro]

A D A G D A A A

[Verse 1]

I wake up to another day

Sun won't shine, sky's full of gray

D A

I've got to go, lace up my shoes

G D A

I've got them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

We were wed, was in the spring

Flowers bloomed, the birds did sing

D A

Of life to come, I never knew

G D A

That I'd have them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

[Interlude]

A D A G D A A A

[Verse 2]

So fair and kind, she brought me joy

Soon she gave a baby boy

D A

But from our home, fate did remove

G D A

And brought them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

With broken hearts, we labored on

Day after day, here on this farm

D A

We marked the spot with a stone so smooth

G D A

And fought them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

[Interlude]

A D A G D A A A

[Verse 3]

My darling died of a broken heart

From her child, she could not part

D A

I laid her down, in an earthen tomb

G D A

She shed them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

A A

[Outro]

Upon that spot, I often gaze

And place new flowers on their graves

D A

Nothing left on earth to lose

G D A

Except them low, down, cold, graveyard blues

G D A

I'll lose them low, down, cold, graveyard blues
