_ _ _ _ _ [D] I remember how the wood would smell just as the last red tree [A] was felled like many that came before.
It was used for a table and a door, [D] a [B] pallet and a longwall rack, unmarked break ground [A] fathers had in a stable and a barn.
_ Bed and a seat, _ roof and a fence, and a floor that creaked, _ and a coffin leaning on the wall. _
_ When there was a death in [D] Arkansas, [B] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] like the wagons and the wheels, the wind that knocked me [F#] down, and the [A] fields and the girls with the southern drawl,
and those that came before were the pictures on the wall, and the long dogs howled, and the crows would call. _ _
When there was a death [D] in Arkansas, _ _ _ _ _ [G] we were laid to rest out under the sun, and we breathed our last and it was [A] done,
and the air redeemed us, we would learn that the light was hallowed and we wouldn't drown. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Hands [B] folded gently to say goodbye, it was just this place underneath [E] the [A] sky, do you see our bones?
_ Hiding like a toad in the old red dirt that is now a road. _
_ Beneath the sign that blinks off on in a shopping mall where the house is gone, _ _ forgetting that a soul may call when there is a death in Arkansas. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] And a quilt and patch of new concrete helps the trucks roll down [A] the street, there's a dollar store by the setting sun, and a sign at church says its will is done.
I _ _ _ _ can't hear the birds that find the fields that hold my bones, _ _ beneath the wheels, _ _ _ _ _ and a mother worries when her son won't call, _ _ _ _
_ and the TV stares at the blinking ball, _ _ _ _ _ but the long dogs howl and the crows still call [A] when [B] there is a death [D] in Arkansas.
