Cyrus Jones eighteen-ten to nineteen-thirteen
F   
Made his great grandchildren believe
          Am
You could live to a hundred and three
                               Amsus2/G
A hundred and three is forever when you?re just a little kid

So, Cyrus Jones live forever

Am
Gravedigger
                Amsus2/G
When you dig my grave
                      E
Could you make it shallow
          Am    G         D/F#
So that I can feel the rain
Am
Gravedigger

I mean never have to bury your own babies

Am

Dm              F   C     G   Bb
Ring around the rosey
Dm             F   C     G   Bb
Pocket full of posey
Dm       F   C     G   Bb     Dm   F
Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

Am

                                                     Amsus2/G
When he grows up he wants to be Mister Vertigo on the flying trapeze

Am
