BURYIN' BONES BY THE DOZEN
Matt King
Album: Hard Country
[Intro]
A A
A
I was going through old skeletons in my closet
They were pourin' out of my heart, like a leaky faucet
D D7
If any one of those memories ever catch up with me
A E A
There ain't no tellin' what pr ice it'll be costin'
A
If she finds out about Amy in Atlanta
Or the two-timin', two-steppin' trouble from Texarkana
D D7
All the parties in The Pines - the fightin' and drinkin' sh ine
A E A
She might think I'm a one-night extravag anza
D C A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
[Solo]
A
Every time the telephone rings, I get a little nervous
So, at the end of the month, I go and I change my service
D D7
And the whole town knows my truck, so when I go to work, I take the bus
A E A
Spend half of my time lockin' doors, and closin' curtians
D C A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
[Fiddle Solo]
D C A
I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin'
D A D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace
A E A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
E A
Yes I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
