[Verse]
Am C G F
My name is Lucas Younger, I was born in the county Clygh
Am C G F
In the war to save the Union, I fought on the losing side
Am C G F
When the bodies fell like timber, and blood flowed like a stream
Dm F Am
And the country unraveled, like a seam
[Verse]
Am C G F
Now as far as I remember, I've never had a cause
Am C G F
To treat any man unjustly, or trample any laws
Am C G F
But you can push a man just so far, before he'll turn and fight
Dm F Am
And it doesn't always matter if he's right
[Chorus]
Am C G F
Ooh, promise me one thing
C G F G
You will bury me under god's wing
Am C G F
Ooh, in case I cannot sleep
C G F Am
Please don't dig my grave too deep
[Verse]
Am C G F
In a deep and dark December, we were barely half alive
Am C G F
I really don't remember how the half of us survived
Am C G F
My brother joined the army, my mother joined the dead
Dm F Am
And I joined up with Quantrill instead
[Verse]
Am C G F
We burned our way through Kansas, and down to Tennessee
Am C G F
Taking what we wanted, and not more than we need
Am C G F
Now I've been called an outlaw, but never to my face
Dm F Am
And I will not be looked on in disgrace
[Chorus]
Am C G F
Ooh, promise me one thing
C G Dm G
You will bury me under god's wing
Am C G F
Ooh, in case I cannot sleep
C G F
Please don't dig my grave too deep
[Verse]
Am C G F
My name is Lucas Younger, I'm all of twenty-five
Am C G F
And I know I'm not expected to leave this room alive
Am C G F
But if I should meet the Devil, I'll spit right in his eye
Dm F Am
The first time, I was too scared to try
[Chorus]
Am C G F
Ooh, promise me one thing
C G F G
You will bury me under god's wing
Am C G F
Ooh, in case I cannot sleep
C G Am
Don't dig my grave too deep
C G Am
Don't dig my grave too deep
