talk to the people [G] that lie beneath these stones, [A] imagining [Am] they listen makes me feel less [E] alone.

them to the [Em] old.

[Em] I can use a chisel [G] and a polisher to sand, [Am] I'll put anything you'd like to say under [Em] a name.
[G] [Em] I'll put on my suit, [D] make sure my tie is straight, lend [Am] a hand to the mourning, sending
loved ones on their [Em] way.
Well [G] I ain't afraid of dying, [A] cause I know where [Am] I'll go, and there I'll live forever
on the streets made of [Em] gold.
[A] [G] Till then I'll keep on working, [A] you won't [Am] hear me complain, and everyday I'll tip my
hat to the rock that says [Em] my name.

[G] [E] [Em] I hired on out of high school [D] in 1968, [A] my wife [Am] and I picked out a spot right up [Em] by the gate.
It ain't much but every morning [D] the sun shines on that ground, [Am] and one of these days when
I clock out, that's where [A] I'm laying [Em] down.
[G] Well I ain't afraid of dying, [Am] cause I know where I'll go, and there I'll live forever
on the streets made of [Em] gold.

[G] Someday when I'm under it, [A] I hope you'll do [Am] the same, stop by sometime and tip your
hat to the rock that [Em] says my name.

[A] For where your [Am] treasure is, there will your [A] heart be also.
