Tip: This song isn't really a popular one from the Eraserheads but this is my favorite. Make sure you pull off the chords precisely at the right words for better sound. I suggest you listen to it first. -=Poorman's Grave=- by: Eraserheads album: Cutterpillow speed: moderately fast (Check out Poorman's Grave (Intro) tab for complete Intro) Intro: Am-F-G Am-F-G# 1st Stanza Am F-G I know a man who had nothing Am F-G He was a poor man all his life Am F-G He lived in a shack by the roadside Am F-G With starving kids and a loving wife 2nd Stanza Am F-G He went to church every Sunday Am F-G He prays from morning until night, he said Am F-G Good Lord, why have you forsaken me Am F-G When everything I did I thought was right Refrain:
