[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][Em][D]
[C][Em][D][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The
graveyard sits [D]by the Prescott [G]mill.
[Em]Where my old man lost his arm,
[D]And for that I was ready to [C]kill.
But he just [Em]looked tired,
And said: [D]"Don't bury
me near [Em]that [D]place."[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]When he finally died
I was in [D]the desert [G]war.
[D]But no [Em]one makes a funeral wait,
So they [D]dressed him up in his wedding clothes,
[C]
And buried him by [Em]the mill,
In the [D]place he said he'd [Em]nev er s[D]tay.[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]All you gotta do, [C]is look around.
[G]You can change the darkness
Into [D]somethin' proud.
[Em]But up in [D]the graveyard,
Some things nev[Em]er change.
[D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Came back stateside,
[D]Tried to set things [G]right.[D]
[Em]Drove out to the graveyard,
[D]Underneath a half- moon [C]sky.
With a pick and [Em]a shovel
I star[D]ted turning [Em]over
stones.
[D][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Just past midnight
I got [D]cornered by [G]some lights.
[Em]Two sirens howlin',
[D]Patrol cars coming down
from both [C]sides.
The sheriff put on the hand[Em]cuffs.
Said: "A [D]night in jail will
cool [Em]your [D]head."[C]

[Verse 6]
[D]All you gotta do, [C]is look around.
[G]You can change the darkness
Into [D]somethin' proud.
[Em]But up in [D]the graveyard,
Some things nev[Em]er change.
[D][C][G]

[Verse 7]
Now he still lies 'neath the mill fire smoke.
A [Em]good man to his well- made bed,
An[D]other ten, just ready to [C]go.
But the ground there don't rest [Em]easy,
'Cause [D]he won't let it
rest [Em]that [D]way.[C]

[Verse 8]
[D]You can bury deep, but [C]you won't forget.
A [G]heart will never leave you alone,
[D]Even if you want to be left,
[Em]Up in the [D]graveyard
Where some things nev[Em]er change.[D][C]

[Verse 9]
[D]All you gotta do, is [C]look around.
[G]You can change the darkness
Into [D]somethin' proud.
[Em]But up in the [D]graveyard,
Some things nev[Em]er change.[D]

[Verse 10]
Some things never [Em]change.[D]
[C]Some things nev[Em]er ch[D]ange.
[C]Some things never [Em]change.

[Outro 1]
