     D                                D7            G
Your memory is something that I never could seem to lose
        A7                                            D
Oh I've tried everything even drowning your memory in booze
                                     D7           G
So I finally decided to lay down and die with the pain
          A7                                              D
Oh but my heart kept on beating and softly repeating your name

Chorus:
Am             D               Am                G
Ashes to ashes dust to dust my heart and my mind know
       D                  G
You're still here with us   when they lay me away
    D                  Bm
The last words they'll speak
D                    C     G       D
Here lies a man that don't rest in peace

D                                     D7        G
God gave me your love and God knows I threw it away
        A7                                              D
Oh what I put you through is the same hell I'm living today
                                     D7         G
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

Ashes to ashes dust to dust my heart and my mind know

You're still here with us   when they lay me away

Here lies a man that don't rest in peace
