[E] I [Em]
was sitting in a graveyard late one night, didn't [E] know why.
Had no guitar, had to bottle wine, thinking there were more for me, [Em] cut to [A] the grow.

[A] [G] [Em]
[E]
Had a little tune [Em] going through my head, and I started to cry.
[E] Burden layin' heavy on my heart, too much on my mind.
[G] [A]
[E] [Em]
I was [E] staring out at the shadows, and a tall woman appeared.
Heard her whisper, didn't know why, you hear [Em] it all around you.

And then the guitar was in my hand, everybody singing with me, so.
You see the release on all their faces, but they knew it was time to go.
They left, left, [A]
the [E] cold gray [Em] dawn.
[A] [E]
[Em]
I felt like a man [E] walking in his sleep, made it back to my car.
[Em]
Now [E] I had a shotgun right up, I ain't gonna fall.
[Em]
I hope you remember what you seen here, for as long as you live.
[E] I'm gonna have to leave you now, you got [Em] something here.
