I used Hackenbush's tab, which is great by the way, I just made it into basic chords. Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret G Bm C Bm Sadie, white coat G Bm C Bm you carry me home G Bm C Bm And bury this bone G Bm C Bm and take this pine cone Bm D Am C Bury this bone to G Gmaj7 Gnaw on it later Em Gnawing on the telephone Bm D Am C Until then, we pray and suspend G Gmaj7 Em The notion that these lives do never end G And all day long we talk about mercy G C D G Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty G Down in the ditch where I nearly served you G C D G Up in the clouds where he almost heard you C And all that we built and all that we breathed Em And all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds G C D G Is piled up in back and it burns irrevocably Em C D G And we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crept over me G Bm C Bm And bless you, and I deeply do G Bm C Bm No longer resolute, oh and I call to you G Bm C Bm But the water go so cold G Bm C Bm And you do lose what you don't hold Bm D Am C This is an old song, these are old blues G Gmj7 Em And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use Bm D Am C And the seabirds where the fear once grew G Gmaj7 Em Will flock with a fury and they will bury what'd come for you G And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender G C D G You and I, and a love so tender G Stretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage: G C D G "Bless our house and its heart so savage" C And all that I want, and all that I need Em And all that I've got is scattered like seed G C D G And all that I knew is moving away from me Em C D G And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed G Bm C Bm And the mealy worms in the brine will burn G Bm C Bm In a salty pyre among the fauns and ferns G Bm C Bm And the love we hold, and the love we spurn G Bm C Bm Will never grow cold, only taciturn G Bm C Bm And I'll tell you tomorrow G Bm C Bm Sadie, go on home now G Bm C Bm And bless those who've sickened below G Bm C Bm And bless us who have chosen so C And all that I've got and all that I need Em I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet G C D G And I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me Em C D G So dig up your bone, exhume your pine cone, my Sadie
