[Verse 1]
C
He was all decked out in his work day best
G
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
C
The first one in, last one out
Best seat in the good Lord's house
G
He could see it all
Am
I'm sure he smiled as the preacher read
G C
And his unsteady hand read his last request
[Chorus]
G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em C
And send me home back to my makers arms
D C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 2]
C
He came back from France in '44
G
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
C
Lived a hard scratch farmer's life
G
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
Am
He was never one to ask for much
G C
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved
[Chorus]
G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em C
And send me home back to my makers arms
D C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 3]
C
Well lay me down in greener pastures
G
Right beside the quiet waters
C F
Through the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul
[Chorus]
G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em C
And send me home back to my makers arms
D C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
