[E] _ _ I _ [Em] _ _ _
_ was sitting in a graveyard late one night, _ _ didn't [E] know why.
_ Had no guitar, had to bottle wine, thinking there were more for me, [Em] _ _ _ _ cut to [A] the grow.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Had a little tune [Em] going through my head, and I started to cry. _ _ _
[E] Burden layin' heavy on my heart, too much on my mind.
[G] _ [A] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
I was [E] staring out at the shadows, and a tall woman appeared. _
_ _ Heard her whisper, _ _ _ didn't know why, you hear [Em] it all around you. _ _ _

_ _ And then the guitar was in my hand, everybody singing with me, so.
_ _ You see the release on all their faces, but they knew it was time to go.
_ _ _ They left, left, _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ the [E] cold gray [Em] dawn.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
I felt like a man [E] walking in his sleep, made it back to my car.
_ [Em] _
Now [E] I had a shotgun right up, _ I ain't gonna fall.
_ [Em] _
I hope you remember what you seen here, _ _ for as long as you live. _ _ _
[E] I'm gonna have to leave you now, _ _ you got [Em] something here. _ _
