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