[Intro]
C, F, G,
[Verse]
C F
Midnight on a country road,
C G
She pulled into an empty field,
C F
The wicked moon was shining high,
C G
The air was sweet magnolia,
C F
The grass was wet with an icy dew,
C G Am F G
Perfect for a long goodbye.
[Chorus]
Am
‘Cause she buried her love,
F
Oh she buried her love,
G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
Am
‘Cause she buried her love,
F
She buried her love,
G F G Am F G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
[Verse]
F
Boot prints on bleeding heart,
C G
Fist around a rusty blade,
C F
A smile and a bloodshot eye,
C G
She filled the tank and made her run,
C F
I can’t tell you where she’s gone,
C G Am F G
Since I made my long goodbye.
[Chorus]
Am
‘Cause she buried her love,
F
Oh she buried her love,
G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
Am
Oh she buried her love,
F
She buried her love,
G F G Am F G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
[Verse]
F
I sleep now in a frozen bed,
C G
My limbs are slack my fire is out,
C F
Nevermore to see the sky,
C G
But even now I love her still,
C F
I miss her like I never did,
C G Am F G
Before I made my long goodbye.
[Chorus]
Am
‘Cause she buried her love,
F
Oh she buried her love,
G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
Am
Oh she buried her love,
F
She buried her love,
G F G Am F G
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
[Solo]
C, F, C, G,
C, F, C, G,
C, F, C, G, Am, F, G,
[Chorus]
Am
‘Cause she buried her love,
F
Oh she buried her love,
G C
She buried her love in a shallow grave,
Am
Oh she buried her love,
F
She buried her love,
G F G C
She buried her love in a shal-low grave,
