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