F5          C5     D5
Well you can dig me up a grave
N.C.
And try and stick me in the ground
Well you can tie me to the bed
            D5
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
                           A5 G5 A5 C5   G5 A5
Well you can stick me in a hole
D5                    C5     A5 G5 A5 
  G5 A5
And you can pray all day for rain
D5            C5 D5     A5 G5
You can shoot me in the leg
A5   C5     G5 A5
Just to try to make me beg
D5                   C5        A5 G5 A5 
  G5 A5   D5
And you can leave me there for days

[CHORUS]
C5  D5  F5
    And I'll stay alive
D5                 A5 G5 A5 C5  G5 
 D5   C5 A5 G5 A5 C5  G5 
 D5
Just to follow you home
C5 D5 F5         D5
  And I will survive
                 A5
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
           D5            G5
You're my California Queen
         C5
Like the Duchess of Detroit
          G5             C5
And every city in between
        A5
You can slap me in the face
               D5       G5
You can scream profanity
         C5
Leave me here to die alone but
G5 A5 G5   A5 C5  A5   G5
I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home

You can make a couple calls
And tell your brothers I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm never found
You can steal me the keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
You can tamper with the brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming back

[CHORUS]
