        COLD COLD GROUND
 
  C                           Am 
  Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe 
          C                          Am 
  Never slept with a dream before he had to go away 
             C                      Am 
  There`s a bell in the tower Uncle Ray bought a round 
       F                  G           C 
  Don`t  worry 'bout the army in the cold cold  ground  

               Am   
  Cold cold  ground 
                     C
  In the cold cold ground 
                     Am
  In the cold cold ground 

            C                           Am
  Now don`t be a cry baby when there`s wood in the shed
             C                         Am 
  There`s a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed 
            C                                 Am
  When the road`s washed out, they pass the bottle around
       F           G               C 
  And wait in the arms,... of the cold cold ground  

               Am  
  Cold cold  ground
                     C
  In the cold cold ground
                    Am
  In the cold cold ground 

              C                         Am
  There`s a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
         C                             Am
  And a briar patch of berries takin` over the slope
               C                             Am
  The cat`ll sleep in the mailbox and we`ll never go to town 
 F                     G               C
  Till we bury every dream,... in the cold cold ground  

              Am    
  Cold cold  ground
                     C
  In the cold cold ground
                     Am
  In the cold cold ground 

            C                     Am
  Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
            C                             Am
  Blow the roof of the goat barn, let it roll down the hill
        C                        Am
  The piano is firewood, Times square is a dream 
 F                        G                  C
  I find we`ll lay down together,... in the cold cold ground 


               Am     
  Cold cold  ground
                     C
  In the cold cold ground
                     Am
  In the cold cold ground 

            C                               Am              
  Call the cops on the Breedloves, bring a bible and a rope 
         C                       Am
  And a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap 
          C                       Am
  Make a pile of trunk tires and burn `em all down 
 F                             G                      C
  Bring a dollar with you baby,... in the cold cold ground  

               Am     
  Cold cold  ground
                     C
  In the cold cold ground
                     Am
  In the cold cold ground 

           C                          Am
  Take a weather vane rooster, throw rocks at his head
          C                               Am
  Stop talking to the neighbours till we all go dead 
    C                         Am               
  Beware of my temper and the dog that I`ve found 
 F                      G                         C    
  Break all the windows,...... in the cold cold ground 

               Am  
  Cold cold  ground
                     C
  In the cold cold ground
                     Am   C Let Ring
  In the cold cold ground
