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