This is my brother's song
called death in Arkansas
[D]
[B] [G]
Remember it would smell just as the last great [D] tree was fell
Like many that came before
It was used for a table and a door
[G] pallet and a long
alright hung my great
[D] grandfather's hat a
stable and a barn a
bed and a seat
roof and a fence and a floor that creaked and
a coffin leaning against the wall when there was a death in
[E] Arkansas
[G]
[A] [D]
[G] I like the wagons and the wheels of wind
Down [D] in the fields and the girls with the southern draw
Knows it came before the pictures on the wall
And the long dogs have the crow car there was a death in Arkansas
[G]
[C] We were laid to rest
Under the [G] Sun and we breathe our last and it was [D] done in the air
Redeemed us and we would learn
That a life was hallowed and we would
burn
[G] It was folded gently to say goodbye was justice place underneath [D] the sky
And you see our bones hiding like a toe
In the old red dirt that is now a road
Beneath the sign that blinks off on
And a shopping mall where the house is gone
Forgetting that a soul may [G] call there [F#m] is a death in [G] Arkansas
[A] [D]
[G]
[D]
[G] [C] And a quill
Patch of new [G] concrete
Helps the trucks roll down the street.
[D] There's a dollar store by the setting Sun
And a sign on the church says his will is done.
I
Can't see the bird to find the fields
Hold my bones beneath the wheels
And
The mother worries that her son won't call
And the TV stares at a blinking wall
Dogs howling the crow still call [A] when there is a [D] death in Arkansas
