Chords with lyrics

THE BLUEGRASS WIDOW

G+G
It's been five years come this autumn, She remembers well the day  Robert Earl Keen
  FF             C majorC       G+G
The day the fever got him and took him far a way

Far away from always knowin' that the love they shared was true
   FF             C majorC      G+G
Far a way the fiddlers bowin' " Grass River Blues"

It was in the dead of winter when her man first caught the chill
    FF                 C majorC      G+G
It was said he heard the angels singin' " Cabin On the Hill"

Through the springtime he was groanin' "maybe time to pass and go"
    FF                C majorC         G+G
By the summer she was moanin' Good Old Lover please come home

Chorus:
    C majorC                 G+G
Now she stands out in the midnight in the moonlight all aglow
  C majorC                 G+G
She prays to Carter Stanley, won't you please tell Bill Monroe
      C majorC               G+G
I'd rather be in some dark hollow or some dark, deep shady grove
    FF           C majorC   G+G
Than to be a Bluegrass widow, oh, oh oh

Instrumental:
     G+G
Will you miss me when I'm gone were his final words to her
    FF                 C majorC          G+G
Darlin' think of what you've been to me re plied his Knoxville girl

And the leaves had started turnin when his mind began to fail
    FF                 C majorC         G+G
Then he broke down in a breakdown now she wears a long black veil

Chorus, Twice through to end
