Intro C  F  C  F 

Verse 1:

C          F           C           F 
When I was a babe I fell down in the holler 
C            F           C           F 
When I was a girl I fell into your arms 
C             F          C            F 
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color 
C             D          F           Em 
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms 

Verse 2:

C             F          C            F 
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey 
C             F          C            Em 
You stole and you gambled and I said you should 
C             F          C            F 
We sang for our suppers, and we drank up our money 
C             D          F           Em 
Then one day you left, saying I was no good 

Verse 3:

C                   Em              F             C 
Well, all right, I'm bad, but then, you're no prize 
Either 
C              Em            F             C 
All right, I'm bad, but then, that's nothing new 
C                D              Em 
You say you won't love me, well I won't love you 
Neither 
           C                 D     Em 
Just let me remind you who I am to you 



C                   Em              F             C 
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping 
C                   D              F             Em 
I am the one who knows how you were brave 
C                   Em              F             C 
And I am the one who knows what you said sleeping 
C             D          F           Em 
I'll take that and more when I go to my grave 

Verse 4:

C                Em             F       C 
It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under 
C                Em         F        C 
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone 
C               D      Em 
So who will you turn to tomorrow, I wonder? 
                 C                   D      Em 
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own 



C                    F          D     Em 
And I am the one who you let see you weeping 
C               F                 Em 
I know the soul that you struggle to save 
C               D            Em           F 
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reaping 
C                F        Em 
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
