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