23rd Psalm chords by Zach Dylan

Intro C

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

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

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

verse 2
C
He came back from France in '44
                     G
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
    C
Lived a hard scratch farmer's life
                    G
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
    Am
He was never one to ask for much
    G                      C
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved

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

verse 3
   C
Well lay me down in greener pastures
G
Right beside the quiet waters
      C               F
Through the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul

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

END VERSE
C
He was all decked out in his work day best
