Verse 1
I've got a (D major) man I had for a year
(B minor) But (E minor) he just won't (D major) treat me right
(C major) He (E minor) (D major) (G major) knocked me silly
with (B minor) a (D major) rockin' (B minor) chair
Cause (D major) I stayed (E minor) out (D major) one night
But (G major) he done got my goat (C major)
(G major) Cause he told (E minor) me (D major) to (E minor) my face
That (D major) he's done bought
some (G major) gal (D major) a new (B minor) fur coat
(G major) And (D major) she's done (B flatdim) taken (D major) my place.
(G major) Won't (A minor) somebody (B flat major) open (B minor)
(C major) up his eye (D major) (E minor) s?
Cause (D major) that is graveyard work. (G major) (D major)
(G major) And (A minor) I'll (B flatdim) show him (C major) before he dies (E minor)
(D major) That's him, his graveyard word.
(A major) I can (E minor) see the undertaker putting
flowers on dough,
And a traveler going where
he never come back no more.
(D major) Tell (G major) him that (E minor) I'll (D major) fix him,
(C major) sure as two and two is four, (F sharp major) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Go (G major) an (D major) d tell him that (G major) he's (C major) slowly (G major) dying,
cause (D major) him his graveyard's (E minor) burned. (C major) (F sharp major)
(G major) Please (C major) don't let (B flatdim) me lose
(B minor) my (G major) right (C sharpdim) ful (G major) mind.
(D major) Calls him his graveyard (E minor) word. (D major)
(A minor) An unpol (E minor) ished of my pistons,
my razor sharp in two.
He'll think the world done fell on
him when my dirty work is due.
Tell (D major) (E minor) him that I'll do just
what I said I'll (D sharp major) do.
(G major) Toss (D major) him his graveyard
(C major) word. (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor)
(D major) (E minor)
