I'm very proud [A] to [E] be a man that was all [D] she wrote.
For [A] my 19th birthday, I got a [D] union card and a wedding [A] go-ho.
[D] We went down to the courthouse, and the [A] judge put [E] her to [F#m] rest.
[Bm] No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle, [A] no flowers, no wedding [D] dress.
One night we [F#m] went down to the [D] river, [E] into the river [A] we died.
Oh, [F#m] down to [D] the river [E] we ride.

[F#m] Then I got a job working [A] construction, with [E] a Johnstown company.
[D] But [F#m] lately there [A] ain't been no work, on [D] account of [A] me.
When [D] all those things that seem so important, they just [A] vanish right into [F#m] the air.
Yeah, [Bm] I just act like I don't remember, and [A] Mary acts like she [D] don't care.
But I [F#m] remember us riding in [A] my brother's car, her [E] body tanning wet, down [D] at the reservoir.
At night on [A] those banks I lie awake, her [D] calls just to feel every [A] breath she take.
Now those [D] memories come back, oh, yeah, they [A] haunt me like a [F#m] dream.
Is [Bm] it a dream or a lie, and it don't come true, [A] or is it something [D] else?
It's empty [F#m] down so low [D] again, though [E] I know I'll never [A] get dry.
Oh, [F#m] down so [D] low again, [E] tonight.
Down [D] so [F#m]
low [D] again, [E] my baby, [A] can I hold [F#m] you [D] tonight?
