[D][G]

[Verse 1]
I've got a [D]man I had for a year
[Bm]But [Em]he just [D]won't treat me right
[C]He [Em]knock[D]ed[G] me silly
with [Bm]a roc[D]kin' cha[Bm]ir
[D]Cause I stayed [Em]out o[D]ne night
But [G]he done got my [C]goat
[G]Cause he told [Em]me t[D]o my[Em] face
That [D]he's done bought
some [G]gal [D]a new [Bm]fur coat
[G]And she[D]'s done tak[Bbdim]en my pla[D]ce.
[G]Won't [Am]somebody [Bb]open[Bm]
[C]up [D]his eye[Em]s?
Cause [D]that is graveyard [G]work.[D]
[G]And [Am]I'll [Bbdim]show him [C]before he [Em]dies
[D]That's him, his graveyard word.
[A]I can [Em]see the undertaker putting
flowers on dough,
And a traveler going where
he never come back no more.
[D]Tell [G]him that [Em]I'll [D]fix him,
[C]sure as two and two is [F#]four,[D][Em][D][G]
[D]Go an [G]d t[D]ell him that he'[G]s slo[C]wly dyi[G]ng,
cause [D]him his graveyard's [Em]burned.[C][F#]
[G]Please [C]don't let [Bbdim]me lose
[Bm]my r[G]ightfu[C#dim]l mind.[G]
[D]Calls him his graveyard wor[Em]d.[D]
[Am]An unpol[Em]ished of my pistons,
my razor sharp in two.
He'll think the world done fell on
him when my dirty work is due.
[D]Tell [Em]him that I'll do just
what I said I'll [D#]do.
[G]Toss [D]him his graveyard
[C]word.[G][D][G][Em]
[D][Em]
