[Verse 1] G D Just a mile down the road G C And a street or two away G There's that freckled missus that I D G want most every day G D Out to the home of her father G C I'm gonna drag my sore old feet G Tell him she's the woman who can D G Wake me from my sleep [Chorus] Bm She said kiss me Am Lord, I listened, but Bm C I haven't gone back since G D G Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence [Verse 2] G D Now I will roll, I will suffer G C Curse the soil and curse the stones G D G Keep my eyes a leaking for that girl does love my bones G D I've know her for a year G C Only seen her seven days G D G One week too many to keep men like me away [Chorus] Bm She said kiss me Am Lord, I listened Bm C Though I haven't gone back since G D G Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence [Instrumental] G Em G Em C G [Verse 3] G D So three years after, I found her doorstep G C Found her shoes and found her kin G D G They told me old grim reaper done come and turned her in G D Pouring liquor on the stone G C That marks my lost and gone G D G I will whimper, wail, and sing her funeral song A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
