     A        D           A           E
When I was a babe I fell down in the holler
     A        D          A          E
When I was a girl I fell into your arms
     A           D            A              E
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color
    F#m          D          E           A
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms

[INTRO 1X]

[Segunda Parte]

   A             D              A          E
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey
      A            D         A            E
You stole and you gambled and I said you should
    A            D               A           E
We sang for our suppers, and we drank up our money
     F#m          D           E        A
Then one day you left, saying I was no good

[INTRO 1X]

[Terceira Parte]

      A              D              A               E
Well, all right, I'm bad, but then, you're no prize Either
A              D              A              E
All right, I'm bad, but then, that's nothing new
     A             D               A             E
You say you won't love me, well I won't love you Neither
     F#m       D           E    A
Just let me remind you who I am to you

[Refrão]

       A         D             A               E
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping
A         D             A            E
I am the one who knows how you were brave
    A        D              A              E
And I am the one who knows what you said sleeping
     F#m            D          E       A
I'll take that and more when I go to my grave

[Quarta Parte]

      A           D          A           E
It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under
      A           D          A          E
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone
     A           D         A         E
So who will you turn to tomorrow, I wonder?
     F#m           D            E           A
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own

[Refrão]

A        D            A           E
I am the one who you let see you weeping
A           D               A         E
I know the soul that you struggle to save
     A           D            A           E
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reaping
    F#m           D          E        A
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
