By: Drive-By Truckers

Capo 3

Intro: G D Cadd9


G         D              Cadd9
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
G                D            Cadd9
She says they're on me when I sleep
G       D                Cadd9
Waiting in the out-house for me
G      D              Cadd9
       underneath the seat

G D Cadd9

G             D                   Cadd9
My great-grandmothers bout ninety-seven
G               D                Cadd9
and she is sure when she gets to heaven
G               D                    Cadd9
old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
G               D              Cadd9
"I've waited so long for us to meet"

She put the General in a box
               Cadd9                             Asus2
and buried him behind the Stoney Point Church of Christ
                 G
when I was three

               G                    D
(and she says) "When the lord comes to take me
  Cadd9                   G                 D                Cadd9
I'll die with a smile on, cause He's taking all my pains and fears."

Cadd9                      Asus2
She said The Generals last words were
      Cadd9               Asus2
"It's hotter than hell in here"

G         D              Cadd9
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
G         D            Cadd9
or so she told me as a child
G           D              Cadd9
and I would hold it in for hours
G      D           Cadd9
       Too mean to die
G      D           Cadd9
       Too mean to die,   too mean...
