Capo 3 [Intro] G6 Am G6 Am G6 Em G6 G6 Am G6 Am G6 Em G6 [Verse 1]

^G6Boys workin on empty^Am ^G6 Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat? ^Am ^G6 I just think about my baby^Am ^G6

I'm so full of love I could barely eat

^G6There's nothing sweeter than my baby^Am ^G6 I never want once from the cherry tree^Am ^G6 Cause my baby's sweet as can be^Am ^G6

She give me toothaches just from kissin me [Chorus]

^EmWhen, ^Dmy, time comes around ^G6Lay me gently ^Amin the cold dark earth ^EmNo grave ^Dcan hold my body down ^G6I'll crawl home t^Amo her

[Verse 2]

^G6That's when my baby found me^Am ^G6 I was three days on a drunken sin^Am ^G6 I woke with her walls around me^Am ^G6

Nothin in her room but an empty crib

^G6And I was burnin up a fever^Am ^G6 I didn't care much how long I lived^Am ^G6 But I swear I thought I dreamed her^Am ^G6 She never asked me once about the wrong I did^Am ^G6

[Chorus]

^EmWhen, ^Dmy, time comes around ^G6Lay me gently ^Amin the cold dark earth ^EmNo grave ^Dcan hold my body down ^G6I'll crawl home t^Amo her

[Bridge]

^G6My baby never fret none^Am ^G6 About what my hands and my body done^Am ^G6 If the Lord don't forgive me^Am ^G6

I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me

^G6When I was kissing on my baby ^Am ^G6 And she put her love down soft and sweet^Am ^G6 In the lowland plot I was free^Am ^G6

Heaven and hell were words to me [Chorus]

^EmWhen, ^Dmy, time comes around ^G6Lay me gently ^Amin the cold dark earth ^EmNo grave ^Dcan hold my body down ^G6I'll crawl home t^Amo her
