Capo 1
F G
Just a mile down the road
F F
And a street or two away
F
There's that freckled missus that I
G F
want most every day
F G
Out to the home of her father
F F
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
F
Tell him she's the woman who can
G F
Wake me from my sleep
Am
She said kiss me
Dm
Lord, I listened, but
Am F
I haven't gone back since
F G F
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
F G
Now I will roll, I will suffer
F F
Curse the soil and curse the stones
F G F
Keep my eyes a leaking for that girl does love my bones
F G
I've know her for a year
F F
Only seen her seven days
F G F
One week too many to keep men like me away
Am
She said kiss me
Dm
Lord, I listened
Am F
Though I haven't gone back since
F G F
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
F Am
F Am
F
F
F G
So three years after, I found her doorstep
F F
Found her shoes and found her kin
F G F
They told me old grim reaper done come and turned her in
F G
Pouring liquor on the stone
F F
That marks my lost and gone
F G F
I will whimper, wail, and sing her funeral song

A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it
should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
