When I [F#] was a babe, I [C#] fell down in [G#] my holler
[C#] When I was [F#] a girl, I [A#m] fell into [G#] your arms
[C#] We fell on [F#] hard times and [C#] we lost our [G#] bright color
[A#m] You went [F#] to the dogs and [G#] I lived [C#] by my charms
[A#]
[C#] I danced [F#] for my dinner, spread [C#] kisses [G#] like honey
[C#] You stole [F#] and you gambled and [A#m] I said you [G#]
should
[C#] We sang [F#] for our suppers, we [C#] drank up our [G#]
money
Then [A#m] one [F#] day you left saying [G#] I [C#] was no good
Well, alright, [F#] I'm bad, [C#] but then you're no [G#] prize either
[C#]
Alright, [F#] I'm bad, [A#] but then that's [G#] nothing new
[C#] You say you [F#] won't love me, [A#m] I won't love [G#] you neither
[A#m] Just let me [F#] remind you [G#] what I [C#] am to you
Cause I am [F#] the one who [C#] looks out when [G#] you're [C#] leaping
I [F#] am the one who knows [A#m] how you [G#] work brave
[C#] And I am [F#] the one who [C#] heard what you said [G#] sleeping
[A#m] I'll take [F#] that and more when [G#] I go [C#] to my grave
It's sooner [F#] than later [C#] that I'm six [G#] feet under
[C#] It's sooner [F#] than later that [A#m] you'll be [G#] alone
[C#] So who will [F#] you turn to [C#] tomorrow, [G#] I wonder
[A#] For when [F#] the bell rings, [A#] lover, you're [C#] on your own
I am [F#] the one who [C#] lets you see you [G#]
weeping
[C#] I know [F#] the soul that you [A#] struggle [G#] to save
[C#] Too bad I'm [F#] the bet that [C#] you lost in [G#]
reaping
[A#m] Now what will [F#] you do when [G#] I go to my [D#] grave?
