[D] The service went the way [G] it should have gone, no one talked [A] too loud or cried too long
Except your mama's [D] new boyfriend, he went on and on while [A] they laid you in the ground
[D] Right about then [G] a truck backfired and [A] all the boys they flinched their heads
Yeah, that shook [D] me up I guess
[G] I've been home a month [A] now and I still can't get no rest
[D] Standing by the grave [G] of a dearly departed [A] friend

[G] 21 guns for 21 years [D] and American flags [G] in the wind
Standing by the grave [A] of a dearly departed [D] friend
[A] [D] Barbeque grills [G] and lawn mowers, kids [A] on four wheelers and ice cream trucks

[Bm] Hey, there's only one road leads out of this town [G] and it [D] comes right back
So I just [Bm] drive in circles, circles [A] and I try not to blow [A] my stack
[F#m] Out at the mall on the motor mile, it's [G] just as lonesome as I see
Man, [D] the girls around here, the girls around here, [A] they're just as hopeless as they used to be
[D] [G]
[A] [D] [G]
[A] So [D] I'll go on and tie another [G] yellow ribbon [A] round the old hackberry tree
And tamp [D] the dirt down
[G] Y'all go on home [A] now, there ain't nothing here to see
[D] Standing by the [G] grave of a dearly departed [A] friend
With [D] nothing much to say [G] except, sorry it turned [A] out like it did
