I didn't want no broken gate by the road [C] that I met, but of [D]
[G] yesterday.
But when we saw him, we all ran out [A] just to see what he [D] had to say.
[Gm] And when we read it, our [E] eyes fell tears and tears in [G] one place.
Some eyes were worries, some eyes were closure, some eyes fell in pain.
Found the post by the general store, [C] laid [G] buddies.
Had auction sale day after tomorrow, [A] we came to [D] thinkin' life.
