Intro C majorC

verse 1
C majorC
He was all decked out in his work day best
                  G+G
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
  C majorC
The first one in, last one out

Best seat in the good Lord's house
     G+G
He could see it all
  A minorAm
I'm sure he smiled as the preacher read
G+G               C majorC
And his unsteady hand read his last request

    G+G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
     D MajorD
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
   E minorEm             C majorC
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
    G+G                     D MajorD
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
  E minorEm           C majorC
And send me home back to my makers arms
    D MajorD        C majorC
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
