[Intro] G Am Em (let ring)
[Verse 1]
G Am Em (let ring)
Oh, got my hands tied around my back
G Am Em (let ring)
And time put a rope around my head
G Am Em (let ring)
And hung from the rafters of my fear
Dark in the eyes
G
Try and face the world
Am Em
I can’t bare to, my knees hit the ground and
My hands start shaking
G Am
Old feelings from new faces
Em
A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging
[Chorus]
G Am Em
Please help me chop this tree down
G Am Em
Hold me from underneath
G Am Em
Words never once cut me down
G Am Em
Oh, don’t you cry for me
G Am Em (let ring)
[Verse 2]
G Am Em (let ring)
And I’ve seen an ocean run away
G Am Em (let ring)
I’m torn from the truth that holds my soul
G Am Em (let ring)
I’m down in the grave where I belong
Oh what a ride
G Am
Identified my devil
Em
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
G Am
With my own hands, no shovel
Em
I dug through the ground, now I'm hanging above saying
[Chorus]
G Am Em
Please help me chop this tree down
G Am Em
Hold me from underneath
G Am Em
Words never once cut me down
G Am Em
Oh, don’t you cry for me
[Bridge]
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
(when the sun went down)
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
(It set the sky on fire)
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
(I saw an angel fly)
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
(I never felt so high)
G C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
Em
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
[Chorus]
G Am Em
Please help me chop this tree down
G Am Em
Hold me from underneath
G Am Em
Words never once cut me down
G Am Em
Oh, don’t you cry for me
G Am Em
Oh, don’t you cry for me
G Am Em
Oh, don’t you cry for me
