[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 1]
Am C/G
Buried momma standing with the knife still in her chest,
F C/G G
As per her last instructions in her death.
Am C/G
Said, 'You'll never get to Heaven son so go to Hell real slow.'
Dm Dm
But the ground don't want me momma, the ground don't want me, no, no, no
Am (G transition)
[Chorus]
F C/G
What is the body if the soul has flown?
G C/G
Has it only been forgotten?
F C/G
I wanna' lay down in a field of bone,
G F
But an angel guards the garden.
Am C/G G Fmaj7
Am C/G G Fmaj7
[Verse 2]
Am C/G
I killed men and blew out Barberco, new life in Crystal Wells
F C/G G
In every town the broken hearted rang their steeple bells
Am C/G
For every man a box, for every hole a rose.
Dm Dm
And the ground don't want me momma, the ground don't want me, no, no, no.
Am (G transition)
[Chorus]
F C/G
What is the body if the soul has flown?
G C/G
Has it only been forgotten?
F C/G
I wanna' lay down in a field of bone,
G F Am
But an angel guards the garden, an angel guards the garden.
C/G G Fmaj7
Am C/G G Fmaj7
[Verse 3]
Am C/G
Then one morning near Arcana, a chance to watch some violets rise
F C/G
Their lunar blues undoing down the fasting stays of night
Am C/G
Now lord how sweet to sleep beneath flowers such as those
Dm Dm
But the ground don't want me momma, the ground don't want me, no, no, no
Am (G transition)
[Chorus]
F C/G
What is the body if the soul has flown?
G C/G
Has it only been forgotten?
F C/G
I wanna' lay down in a field of bone,
G F Am
But an angel guards the garden, an angel guards the garden.
C/G G Fmaj7
Am C/G G Fmaj7
