Verse 1
He (G major) (C major) took (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
all his old love letters
and he bound (C major) them all togeth (G major) er
But I know he knew what (D major) every letter said (G major)
A picture and a gold band
he took (C major) from off his (G major) old hand
And then he drew a (D major) little sign that (G major) read
(C major) Here (G major) lies the (C major) heart of Amos (G major) Brown
And he dug a little hole
there in the ground.
One by (C major) one he kissed his treasures
as he slowly laid them (G major) down,
saying here lies (C major) the heart
(G major) of (D major) Amos (G major) Brown.
Pretty soon he planted flowers,
and I've (C major) seen him sit for (G major) hours
Just staring at that little (D major) patch of clay (G major)
How much he must have loved her,
how (C major) much he must have (G major) suffered
For I know he told the truth
(D major) each time he'd (G major) say
Here lies the (C major) heart of Amos (G major) Brown
And they laughed behind his back
all over town
The old (C major) man who put his memories
in a box deep in the ground (G major)
Saying here lies (C major) the heart (G major) of
(D major) Amos (G major) Brown (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
The story was, a rounder
Had (C major) passed through town and (G major) found her
And before any (D major) body knew (D minor) it,
he'd stolen (G major) her away
The old man never found another,
and he died (C major) still loving my moth (G major) er.
And it broke my heart to
(D major) hear my daddy say, (G major)
Here (C major) (G major) lies the (C major) heart of Amos Brown. (G major)
And I doubt a sadder story can be found
Than the old (C major) man who put his memories
in a box deep in the ground (G major)
Saying here lies (C major) the heart (D major) of Amos (G major) Brown
Here Lies The Heart Of Amos Brown
