Tom: Am
Am F E Am F E Am E Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Sing a worried song
Am
For it won't be long
F
That we'll be dead and gone
E
And be passing on
F E
To the by-and-by
Am
Set me right beside
Am
All my sad ancestors
F
Looking like a fright
E
In Daguerrotypes
F E
Or in a rotogravure
[Chorus]
Dm
See how the trees they grow
C
Pushing up the dead beneath your feet
Dm
You may chew your kudzu down
E
But it's you more likely it will eat
[Verse 2]
Am
Oh, forever in a bind
F
In that time between the slice of the knife
E
And when the pain arrives
F E
That's just life, it's fi-ne
[Break]
Am F E Am F E Am E Am
[Verse 3]
Am
The worried brow of mother earth
F
Is the endless furrows plowed in the dirt...
E
Every body in the loam
F E
Laid out head to toe
E
In her garden
Am
Hum to me with velvet thoughts
F
In the end you find it sadly all for nought
E
Gloom is all you've got...
F E
OK, now I'll stop
[Chorus]
Dm
See how the trees they grow
C
Pushing up the dead beneath your feet
Dm
You may chew your kudzu down
E
But it's you more likely it will eat
F E
Oh sing...
N.C.
A worried song
[Break]
Am F E Am F E Am E Am
[Outro]
Am
Sing a worried song
Am
For it won't be long
F
That we'll be dead and gone
E
And be passing on
Am
To the other side
Am
Fading in the light
F E Am
Sing a worried song
