It's Dec[D]oration Day

[Verse 1]
[Em]
[G]And I've a min[D]d to
[Em]roll a stone on his grave
[G]But what would he [D]say[Em]
[D]"Keeping me down,
boy, won't [Em]keep you away"

[Verse 2]
[G]It's Decora[D]tion Day[Em]
And [G]I knew t[D]he Hill Boys
would [Em]put him away
[G]But my Daddy was[D]n't [Em]afraid
He said "We'd [D]fight till the last
Lawson's [Em]last living day"

[Verse 3]
[G]I never k[D]new how it a[Em]ll got starte[Bm]d
A [G]problem with [D]Holland be
[Em]fore we [Bm]were born[Em]
[Bm]And I [G]don't know [D]the name of
[Em]that boy we tied down
[D]And beat 'til he just
couldn't [Em]walk anymore

[Verse 4]
But [G]I know t[D]he caliber
[Em]in daddy's chest
And I [G]know what [D]Holland Hill [Em]drives
The [G]state let [D]him go,
but [Em]I guess it was best
[D]'Cause nobody [F#m]needs all us [Em]Lawson's

[Verse 5]
[G]Daddy said [D]one of [Em]the boys
had come by
[Bm]The lum[G]ber man's [D]favorite [Em]son
He said [G]"Beat him real [D]good,
but don't [Em]dare let him die
And [D]if you see Holland [Em]Hill run"
[Bm]Now I

[Verse 6]
[G]said, "They ain[D]'t give
us [Em]trouble before
[Bm]That we [G]ain't brought
[D]down on [Em]ourselves"
[Bm]But a ch[G]ain on my back[D]
and my [Em]ear to [Bm]the floor
[Em]And I'll send [D]all the Hill Boys to h[Em]ell
I'll [D]send all the Hill [Em]Boys [Bm]to hell

[Verse 7]
It's Decoration [Em]Day
[G]And I've got a fam[D]ily
[Em]in Mobile Bay
[Bm]And they've [G]never seen [D]my
[Em]daddy's grave
But that [D]don't bother me,
it ain't [Em]marked anyway
[D]'Cause

[Verse 8]
[G]I got dead b[D]rothers
in [Em]Lauderdale South
And [G]I got dead b[D]rothers
in [Em]East Tennessee
[Bm]My D[G]addy got s[D]hot right
[Em]in front of his house
He had [D]no one to fall [Em]on but me

[Verse 9]
[G]It's Decorati[D]on Day[Em]
[G]And I've a m[D]ind to go spi[Em]t on his grave
If [G]I was a Hill,
I'd [Em]have put him away
And I'd [D]fight 'til the last
Lawson's [Em]last living day
I'd [D]fight 'til the last
Lawson's [Em]last living day
I'd [D]fight 'til [F#m]the last [D]Lawson's [Em]last living day
