F C G A
F C G
F C
my name is Miguel Simone
G A
a man who walked it alone
F C
at least that's what it says on the stone under
G
the sycamore
F C
my mother was dead by the time i was born
G A
in the black of my eyes the gypsy nurse warned
F C
she could already see my path torn between the sun
G
and the moon
F C
so i walked it and i walked it straight
G A
until i passed through so many a gate
F C
that not even the blame and the hate of my father
G
could follow
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
G A
no prayers to a god i never forgave
F G
no final wishes, save that you
C G C
bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
F C
i once knew the love of a wife
G A
sometimes the nectar, sometimes the knife
F C
but it always seemed that my life was lived
G
alongside of things
F C
three children born one hot July
G A
she clutched the one that did not die
F C
the heat and the light just passed by as i carried
G
the other two -
F
i still carry the other two
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
G A
no prayers to a god i never forgave
F G
no final wishes, save that you
C G C
bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
F C
i've seen the place where the daylight was killed
G A
and the blood of a blue moon lay spilled
F C
where hearts go quiet, memory stilled, rest is
G
bestowed
F C
it's a place where the cup passeth over for good
G A
and even Jesus would've hid if he could
F C G
in that forsaken stretch of wood they call Whiskey Grove
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
G A
no prayers to a god i never forgave
F G
no final wishes, save that you
C G C
bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
