Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Chorus

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

Verse

Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done

The devil owns you once the bullets left your gun

All I can think of with this rope around my neck

Is I'd be much obliged if you grant me one request

Remaining verses/choruses are the same as above...

Won't you bury me, beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low, on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

My soul turned black as coal

When I walked the streets at night

'Cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right

And I went crazy when I found her with that man

But I felt better once the blood was on my hands

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
