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