  EmDown to the Gsite of my oDriginal estCablishment
  EmAnd the Gwest end Dfamily Cgrave
'Cause Gone day Dmoves into Emtwo
And I'm Closing
  GEveryDthing except for EmyouC  
  GAnd I would Dsing you a Emsong of deCvotion
GYeah, Dthat's what I shEmould doC  
  EmBlood runs Gthick and Dwhen it rains it Cpours down
  EmOn the family Gtree, on the Dfields of Cwar
  EmI spend my Gtime being Dbroken hearted and Cgrieving bound
  EmYeah, I haven't Gmuch need Dto look Cforward
I just let Gone day Dmove into Emtwo and I'm Closing
  GEveryDthing except for EmyouC  
  GI would Dsing you a Emsong of deCvotion

  GThat won't Dbe deCfined
  EmI've had Genough tempoDrary acquiCsition
  EmBuilding Gfences Dfor no Cgain
  EmTaking Gdead trees Ddown before the Cwinter freeze
I Emsaid let 'em Grot and Dfall where Cthey may
I just let Gone day Dmove into Emtwo and I'm Closing
  GEveryDthing except for EmyouC

Em G Em G

Em G D C

I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming

Em G D C

On a dirt road that is soon to be paved

Em G D C

Down to the site of my original establishment

Em G D C

And the west end family grave

G D Em

'Cause one day moves into two

And I'm losing

G D Em C

Everything except for you

G D Em C

And I would sing you a song of devotion

G D Em C

Yeah, that's what I should do

Em G D C

Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down

Em G D C

On the family tree, on the fields of war

Em G D C

I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound

Em G D C

Yeah, I haven't much need to look forward

G D Em C

I just let one day move into two and I'm losing

G D Em C

Everything except for you

G D Em C

I would sing you a song of devotion

Em G Em

Book of days

G Em

The way things lay

G D C

That's just space and time

Em G Em

I gave it up

G Em

All for a love

G D C

That won't be defined

Em G D C

I've had enough temporary acquisition

Em G D C

Building fences for no gain

Em G D C

Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze

Em G D C

I said let 'em rot and fall where they may

G D Em C

I just let one day move into two and I'm losing

G D Em C

Everything except for you

G D Em C

I would sing you a song of devotion

G D Em C

That's what I should do

G D Em C

(One day moves into two and I'm losing)

Book of days It's the way

G D Em C

(Everything except for you I)

things lay Now that's just space and time

G D Em C

(I would sing you a song of devotion)

I gave it up All for your

G D Em C

(Yeah, that's what I should do)

love, that's what I should do

G D Em C

That's what I should do

G D Em C

Yeah, that's what I should do
