Dead From The Heart On Down Recorded by Vern Gosdin Written by Max D. Barnes and Vern Gosdin

^CMy friends all came around to say goodbye And to ^G7see if there was something they could ^Cdo But they knew from the ^Ftears that filled my ^Ceyes There was ^G7just one way to get me over ^Cyou

They ^Fmay as well just lay my soul to ^Crest And ^G7place pretty flowers on my ^Cchest In my head the ^Fworld still turns ^Caround But I’m ^G7dead from the heart on ^Cdown

Take me in that long black limousine

To the ^G7church yard on the other side of ^Ctown Just lay me down with ^Fall my shattered ^Cdreams Cause I’m ^G7dead from the heart on ^Cdown

You ^Fmay as well just lay my soul to ^Crest And ^G7place pretty flowers on my ^Cchest In my head the ^Fworld still turns ^Caround But I’m ^G7dead from the heart on ^Cdown

Yes I’m ^G7dead from the heart on ^Cdown
