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