[VERSE 1]

A
I am not afraid when you call me down
E A
Down the basement steps under the house

[REFRAIN]

A E A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 2]

A
Black cows are limping, the white dogs bark
E A
Crickets are screaming, smoke in the barn
A
Just like a field snake eating a mouse
E A
Just like a bluegill hooked through its mouth

[REFRAIN]

A E A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 3]

A
Cry for the toy trains lost in the snow
E A
Cry for the dead deer surrounded by crows
A
You call me softly down in the dark
E A
Down where the red worms circle like sharks

[REFRAIN]

A E A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 4]

A
Under the black mud in your quiet house
E A
you have prepared my place to lie down
A
A house in the rock where sorrows drown
E A
Old man or baby make no more sound

[REFRAIN]

A E A
Down, down in the ground
