INTRO

Fig1 then Fig2 x4

VERSE

A (with Fig1 and Fig2)

I got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read?

It said the girl you love is dead

D A (Fig3 Fig1 Fig3)

I got a letter this morning what do you reckon it read?

E D A (Fig3 Fig1 Fig3)

Said, Hurry hurry, because the gal you love is dead

Well I packed up my suitcase, took off down the road

When I got there she was, laying on the cooling board

Packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road

(Fig4)

When I got there she was laying on the cooling board

REPEAT VERSE WITH NO LYRICS (improvise with slide a bit)

REPEAT INTRO

It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burying ground

I didn't know I loved her, til they began to let her down

looked like ten thousand, people standing around the burying ground

I didn't know I loved her, til they began to let her down

You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you

Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do

so hard to love someone that don't love you

Don't look like satisfaction, and I don't care what you do
