Intro
Fm C#
[Verse]
G# Fm C#
Oh, got my hands tied around my back
G# Fm C#
And time put a rope around my head
G# Fm C#
And hung from the rafters of my fear
G# Fm
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
Fm C#
Old feelings from new faces
G#
A# rope on the floor and a poor man hanging
[Chorus]
Fm C# G#
Please help me chop this tree down
Fm C# G#
Hold me from underneath
Fm C# G#
Words never once cut me down
Fm C# G#
Oh, don’t you cry for me
[Verse]
Fm C#
G# Fm C#
I’ve seen an ocean runaway
G# Fm C#
I’m torn from the truth that holds my soul
G# Fm C#
I’m down in the grave where i belong
G# Fm C#
Oh what a ride, I dare to fight my devil
G#
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
Fm C#
With my own hands, no shovel
G#
I dug in the ground, now hanging above saying
[Chorus]
Fm C# G#
Please help me chop this tree down
Fm C# G#
Hold me from underneath
Fm C# G#
Words never once cut me down
Fm C# G#
Oh, don’t you cry for me
[Bridge]
Fm C#
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G#
When the gravel got paved, finally I’m saved
Fm C#
Down by the grave that the law man laid
G#
When the grovel got paved, finally I’m saved
Fm 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
Fm 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
Fm 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
Fm 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]
Fm C# G#
Please help me chop this tree down
Fm C# G#
Hold me from underneath
Fm C# G#
Words never once cut me down
Fm C# G#
Oh, don’t you cry for me
Fm C# G#
Oh, don’t you cry for me
FM C# G#
Oh, don’t you cry for me
