How [C] long be a cry, baby, [A] when there's wood in the shed
[C] There's a bird in the [Am] chimney and a stone in my bed
[C] When the road's washed out, [Am] we pass the bottle around
[F] And wait in the [G] arms of the cold, [C] cold ground _ _ _ _

[C] There's a ribbon in the willow, [Am] there's a tire swing rope
[C] And a briar patch of berries [Am] taking over the slope

Give [C] me a Winchester rifle and [Am] a whole box of shells
[C] Blow the roof off the goat barn, let it roll down the hill
And pee down on this firewood, [Am] time squares the dreams
[F] I'll find we'll lay down [G] together in the cold, [C] cold ground
_ _ _ In the [Am] cold, cold ground _ _ _
Cold, [C] cold ground
_ _ _ In the cold, cold [Am] ground
We'll _ _ _ call [C] the cops on the prelovers, [Am] bring a Bible and a rope
And [C] a whole box of Breville and a barrel of smoke
Make a pile of trunk ties and burn them all down
