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