Capo 3.
[Verse 1]
Am
I have worn a path from the liquor store
G Am
through the woods and down to your grave
Nobody but me goes down there no more
G Am
They never loved you like I loved you anyway
G Am
I keep the weeds from growing on your stone
F E
while you lie there in the cold and keep me company
Am F
I don't have much to do, since the day they buried you
G Am
spend all my night just drinking at your grave
[Verse 2]
Am
They never found your killer and they never will
G Am
no stone to mark the grave where he does lay
No epitaph for him to be remembered by
G Am
now no one but the Devil knows his name
G Am
I come here in the nighttime and I'll sing to you
F E
I'll promise that my love shall never die
Am F
Sometimes I pass out drunk and sleep here next to you
G Am
I spend my nighttimes mourning at your grave
[Verse 3]
Am
Now people think I'm crazy and perhaps I am
G Am
When I walk through the town, they look away
Some of them still think I am a guilty man
G Am
I was the last one that was seen with you that day
G Am
But I was passed out on the couch from drinkin'
F E
The note said you were going for a drive
Am F
Inside my head I hear that gospel ringin'
G Am
At nights when I'm alone here by your grave
[Verse 4]
Am
So damn them all to hell, I do not need them
G Am
The only thing I need has gone away
They look at my face and see a demon
G Am
I look into their eyes and they're afraid
G Am
They whisper and they point with waggin' fingers
F E
but I could care less what they think of me
Am F
The only thing I care of is what lingers
G Am
the memory of our love down at your grave
