CAPO 2ND FRET by the Steeldrivers
Chorus/ Intro:
Won't you bury[Em] me beneath the [B7]tree

Hear the willow [D]cry, hear the willow [Em]cry!
Verse 1:
[C]Ain't no redemption for the [G]thing that I have done.
[Am]Devil owned you once the [Em]bullets left the gun.
[C]All I can think of with this [G]rope around my neck,
[Am]is I'd be much obliged if you'd [B7]grant me one request!
Chorus:
[Em]Won't you bury me beneath the [B7]tree

Hear the willow [D]cry, hear the willow [Em]cry!
Verse 2:
[C]My soul's as black as coal
an' I [G]walk the streets at night

[C]And, I went crazy when I [G]found her with that man
[Am]But I felt better once the [B7]blood was on my hands
Chorus:
Won't you bury[Em] me beneath the [B7]tree
Where my family [D]lies, where my family [A7]lies.
Let the fog lay [Em]low, on the mountain [B7]high!
