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