G  Em  G  D  G


[Verse 1]
G                                    Em
Old Dominion flowers, drink Virginia rain
G                                    D               G
I’m going off to the spot where your last words were made
G                                                 Em
And when will that day come that I don’t feel the blame
G                                D         G
Who thought you’d be the one I’d never see again


[Chorus]
G (walkdown) Em C (there is a mean hammer-on-and off you can hit with your middle finger) G

[Verse 2]
G                                       Em
I went to the doorway, collapsed in the rain
G                              D               G
I hung my head lord, and those flowers did the same
G                                Em
All that I needed was someone to say
G                           D                G
Boy get your mind off those things you can’t change


[Chorus]
G   Em       C          G
And I--------I, I dug a grave

G     Em    C                         G
And inside, I-------buried (berry’ed) shame


[Verse 3]
G                                         Em
Don’t give me no comfort, no I’ll be just fine
G                            D              G
This notion of words says we ain’t got much time
G                                               Em
Your breath came short, and your eyes they went blind
G                             D                 G
The world folded on me, and I drown beneath the tide

[Chorus]
G   Em       C          G
And I--------I, I dug a grave

G     Em     C                        G
And inside, I-------buried (berry’ed) shame
