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