Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
A [C]crestfallen sidekick in an [Am]old café
Never [C]slept with a dream
before he [Am]had to go away
There's a [C]bell in the tower,
Uncle [Am]Ray bought a round
Don't [F]worry about the army
[G]in the cold cold [C]ground
Cold cold [Am]ground
Cold cold [C]ground
Cold cold [Am]ground

[Verse 2]
Now don't [C]be a crybaby
when there's [Am]wood in the shed
There's a [C]bird in the chimney
and a [Am]stone in my bed
When the [C]road's washed out,
we pass the [Am]bottle around
And [F]wait in the arms
of the [G]cold cold [C]ground
The cold cold [Am]ground
The cold cold [C]ground
The cold cold [Am]ground

[Verse 3]
There's a [C]ribbon in the willow,
there's a [Am]tire-swing rope
There's a [C]briar patch of berries
takin' [Am]over the slope
The [C]cat'll sleep in the mailbox
and we'll [Am]never go to town
Till we [F]bury every dream
in the [G]cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground
In the cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground

[Solo 1]
In the cold cold
[C](ground)[Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][F][G]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 4]
Give me a [C]Winchester rifle
and a [Am]whole box of shells
[C]Blow the roof off the goat barn,
[Am]let it roll down the hill
The pi[C]ano is firewood,
Times [Am]Square is a dream
I [F]find we'll lay down together
in [G]the cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground
The cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground

[Verse 5]
We'll call the [C]cops on the Breedloves,
bring a [Am]Bible and a rope
And a [C]whole box of Rebel
and a [Am]bar of soap
Make a [C]pile of trunk tires
and [Am]burn 'em all down
Bring a [F]dollar with you, baby,
in the [G]cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground
In the cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground

[Outro 1]
Take a [C]weathervane rooster,
throw [Am]rocks at his head
Stop [C]talking to the neighbors
until [Am]we all go dead
Be[C]ware of my temper
and the [Am]dog that I've found
[F]Break all the windows
in the [G]cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground
In the cold cold [C]ground
In the cold cold [Am]ground
[Repeat and fade]
