Capo 3
Intro: G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
She says they're on me when I sleep
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Waiting in the out-house for me
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
underneath the seat
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
My great-grandmothers bout ninety-seven
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
and she is sure when she gets to heaven
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
"I've waited so long for us to meet"
Cadd9Cadd9 Asus2Asus2
She put the General in a box
Cadd9Cadd9 Asus2Asus2
and buried him behind the Stoney Point Church of Christ
G+G
when I was three
G+G D MajorD
(and she says) "When the lord comes to take me
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I'll die with a smile on, cause He's taking all my pains and fears."
Cadd9Cadd9 Asus2Asus2
She said The Generals last words were
Cadd9Cadd9 Asus2Asus2
"It's hotter than hell in here"
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
or so she told me as a child
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
and I would hold it in for hours
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Too mean to die
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Too mean to die, too mean...
