Your memory is something that I never could seem to lose
    A7A7                      D MajorD
Oh I've tried everything even drowning your memory in booze

So I finally decided to lay down and die with the pain

Oh but my heart kept on beating and softly repeating your name

Ashes to ashes dust to dust my heart and my mind know
    D MajorD         G+G
You're still here with us  when they lay me away
  D MajorD         B minorBm

Here lies a man that don't rest in peace

Oh what I put you through is the same hell I'm living today

Now praying don't help so dyin's the best I can do

But when it's all said and done I'll still have these memories of you
