Intro
Em C
[Verse]
G Em C
Oh, got my hands tied around my back
G Em C
And time put a rope around my head
G Em C
And hung from the rafters of my fear
G Em
Dark in the eyes, tryna face the world
C G
I can’t bare to, my knees hit the ground and
G
My hands start shaking
Em C
Old feelings from new faces
G
A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging
[Chorus]
Em C G
Please help me chop this tree down
Em C G
Hold me from underneath
Em C G
Words never once cut me down
Em C G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
[Verse]
Em C
G Em C
I’ve seen an ocean runaway
G Em C
I’m torn from the truth that holds my soul
G Em C
I’m down in the grave where i belong
G Em C
Oh what a ride, I dare to fight my devil
G
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
Em C
With my own hands, no shovel
G
I dug in the ground, now hanging above saying
[Chorus]
Em C G
Please help me chop this tree down
Em C G
Hold me from underneath
Em C G
Words never once cut me down
Em C G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
[Bridge]
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G
When the grovel got paved, finally I’m saved
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(when the sun went down)
G
Hen the grovel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(It set the sky on fire)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(I saw an angel fly)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved
Em C
Down by the grave that the law man laid
(I never felt so high)
G
When the gravel got paved, finally i'm saved
[Chorus]
Em C G
Please help me chop this tree down
Em C G
Hold me from underneath
Em C G
Words never once cut me down
Em C G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
Em C G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
EM C G
Oh, don’t you cry for me
