Key: D Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: D Verse 1: D Skinny white knees, ain't no breeze D Down by the trestle D Blackberry grin running down her chin D Dark as pitch oil G Lying on our backs right by the tracks D Ain't gonna want no supper
Chorus: D Don't cry for me, oh, when I die G D Just mark my grave with a railroad tie D In an old pine box, honey, lay me low Bb C F G C D And seal it up with creosote Verse 2: D Me and Randy Joe, we know where to go D When we gotta get closer D We run and found a little patch of ground D Where the cars pass over D Stars looking down G D I lost it to the sound of a Carolina freight line howling Chorus: D Don't cry for me, oh, when I die G D Just mark my grave with a railroad tie D I ain't got no use for streets of gold (For streets of gold) Bb C No, honey, Heaven smells like creosote Bridge: G If where I'm going looks like where I've been A F They're 'bout to paint my wings black as sin [Instrumental Break ] E D G D G F G Come on Chorus: D Don't cry for me (Don't cry for me), honey, when I die (Honey, when I die) G D You better mark my grave with a railroad tie (Mark my grave with a railroad tie) D In an old pine box (Ooh), honey, lay me low (Ooh) G F D G D You seal it up with creosote, seal it up with creosote Outro: D Don't cry for me
