Verse 1:

C majorC                          DmDm        G+G
I lose sleep at night like a young man who's in the fight of his young life
FF            DmDm        G+G            C majorC   G+G
I have never known the way the wind would blow if everything were fine
C majorC                           DmDm      G+G
I'm scared that when I die I'll be alone with no one sitting by my side
FF                DmDm   G+G    C majorC     G+G
No, I do not think that I could be alone when I die

Chorus 1:
    FF      C majorC
Lay me down in the ground
    FF       C majorC
Put me back into the earth
   FF      C majorC
Among all of my friends
    FF      C majorC
Under a blanket of roses
  FF   DmDm  FF   G+G
A augmentedA sea of flowers overhead


Verse 2:
C majorC                         DmDm      G+G
A augmentedA field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day
FF                  DmDm        G+G        C majorC   G+G
So the air hangs soft and tender, blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way
C majorC                              DmDm      G+G
Where hills, they rise for miles and miles, I recognize the cryin' in the wind
FF               DmDm    G+G               C majorC     G+G
I hear people come from everywhere to say goodbye sweet-like to their kin


Chorus 1:
    FF      C majorC
Lay me down in the ground
    FF       C majorC
Put me back into the earth
   FF      C majorC
Among all of my friends
     FF     C majorC
Under a blanket of roses
  FF   DmDm  FF   G+G
A augmentedA sea of flowers overhead


Chorus 2:
     FF        C majorC
That is right, I don't believe
  FF        C majorC
Anymore than skies above
     FF         C majorC
It's just me and those I've loved
     FF     C majorC
Under a blanket of roses
  FF   DmDm  FF   G+G
A augmentedA sea of flowers overhead
    C majorC   FF  G+G  C majorC
When I die
