Capo 3
[G]Its Deco[G/F#]ration [Em]Day
[G]And Ive a [G/F#]mind to roll a [Em]stone on his grave
[G]But what [G/F#]would he [Em]say
[D]Keeping me down, boy, wont [Em]keep me away
[G]Its Deco[G/F#]ration [Em]Day
And [G]I knew the [G/F#]Hill Boys that [Em]put him away
But m[G]y Daddy [G/F#]wasnt af[Em]raid
He said Wed [D]fight till the last Lawsons [Em]last living day
I never knew how it all got started
A problem with Holland before we were born
And I dont know the name of that boy we tied down
And beat till he just couldnt walk anymore
But I know the caliber in Daddys chest
And I know what Holland Hill drives
The state let him go but I guess it was best
Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive
Daddy said one of the boys had come by
The lumber mans favorite son
He said, Beat him real good but dont dare let him die
And if you see Holland Hill run
Well I said, they aint give us trouble no more
That we aint brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
And Ill send all the Hill Boys to hell, Ill send all the Hill boys to hell
Its Decoration Day
And Ive got a family in Mobile Bay
And theyve never seen my Daddys grave
But that dont bother me, it aint marked anyway
Cause I got dead brothers in Lauderdale south
And I got dead brothers in east Tennessee
My Daddy got shot right in front of his house
He had no one to fall on but me
Its Decoration Day
And Ive got a mind to go spit on his grave
If I was a Hill, Id have put him away
And Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day
Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day
Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day
