[F#] [A]
[D] I remember how the wood would smell just as the last red tree [A] was felled like many that came before.
It was used for a table and a door, [D] a [B] pallet and a longwall rack, unmarked break ground [A] fathers had in a stable and a barn.
Bed and a seat, roof and a fence, and a floor that creaked, and a coffin leaning on the wall.
When there was a death in [D] Arkansas, [B]
[D] [E] [A]
[D] like the wagons and the wheels, the wind that knocked me [F#] down, and the [A] fields and the girls with the southern drawl,
and those that came before were the pictures on the wall, and the long dogs howled, and the crows would call.
When there was a death [D] in Arkansas, [G] we were laid to rest out under the sun, and we breathed our last and it was [A] done,
and the air redeemed us, we would learn that the light was hallowed and we wouldn't drown.
[D] Hands [B] folded gently to say goodbye, it was just this place underneath [E] the [A] sky, do you see our bones?
Hiding like a toad in the old red dirt that is now a road.
Beneath the sign that blinks off on in a shopping mall where the house is gone, forgetting that a soul may call when there is a death in Arkansas.
[D]
[A]
[G] And a quilt and patch of new concrete helps the trucks roll down [A] the street, there's a dollar store by the setting sun, and a sign at church says its will is done.
I can't hear the birds that find the fields that hold my bones, beneath the wheels, and a mother worries when her son won't call,
and the TV stares at the blinking ball, but the long dogs howl and the crows still call [A] when [B] there is a death [D] in Arkansas.
