Capo 1
Just a [G]mile down the [D]road
And a [G]street or two [C]away
There's that [G]freckled missus that I
[D]want most every [G]day
Out to the [G]home of her [D]father
I'm gonna [G]drag my sore old [C]feet
Tell him [G]she's the woman who can
[D]Wake me from my [G]sleep
She said [Bm]kiss me
Lord, I l[Am]istened, but
I [Bm]haven't gone back [C]since
Though I [G]curse the mind for [D]building a proper [G]fence
Now I will [G]roll, I will [D]suffer
Curse the [G]soil and curse the [C]stones
My [G]eyes will be fixed on that girl w[D]ith the stubborn [G]voice
[G]I've know her for a [D]year
Only [G]seen her seven [C]days
One [G]week too many to [D]keep men like me [G]away
She said [Bm]kiss me
Lord, I l[Am]istened
Though I [Bm]haven't gone back [C]since
Though I [G]curse the mind for [D]building a proper [G]fence
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[C]
[G]
So three years [G]after, I found her [D]doorstep
Found her [G]shoes and found her [C]kin
They told me [G]old grim reaper done [D]gone and turned her [G]in
Pouring [G]liquor on the [D]stone
That [G]marks my lost and [C]gone
I will [G]whimper, wail, and [D]sing a funeral [G]song
----------------------------------------------------------
A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it
should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
