_ _ _ I woke up this morning before [D] daylight
_ The air is still, something [G] ain't right
Got a fence to mend, the horse [F] needs shoe
_ [C] A ground to break before the day [G] is through _ _ _ _
The cornfield needs plowing and another sow
[F] _
[G] Another sleepless night I'll spend alone
I can feel her heart, I can [C] read her mind
I'm a simple man, [G] but I ain't blind
_ _ _ _ She spends her nights off [D] running round
With the [C] banker's son [G] in another town
He owns my land, my crops, [Gm] my [F] shoe
But I'll [C] be damned if he'll [G] loan her two _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I plowed the ground at three or [C] four
I walked to the [G] house and opened up the door
_ All the lights turned _ off, the Shakespeare [C] closed
I heard him [G] laugh, and then I heard him moan _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
Now she lies there with [D] another man
In the [G] bed I built with my own hands
They played their games, they've had [C] their fun
And [G] now she'll pay for all she's done _ _ _ _ _ _
A _ _ _ _ loaded pistol and an [D] empty heart
She [G] broke our vows, so death did us part
Now they lie still in the bed [C] they made
A little three [G]-foot grave with a thorn tree shade _ _ _ _
