Verse 1
Am C/G I buried Mama standing with the knife still in her chest, F C/G G As per her last instructions at her death. Am C/G Said, “You’ll never get to Heaven son so go to Hell real slow.” Dm Dm Now the ground don’t want me Mama, the ground don’t want me, no, no, no. | Am | Am7 |
Verse 2
Am C/G I've stacked the deck, I've held the dead man's hand so many times, F C/G G Eights and aces wishing for the death I hoped was mine, but Am C/G Cards and guns are all the same, each man must draw his own, Dm Dm Now the ground don’t want me Mama, the ground don’t want me, no, no, no. | Am G |
Chorus
F C/G What is the body when the soul has flown? G | C/G G | Has it only been forgotten? F C/G I wanna lay down in a field of bone, G F Fadd9 But an angel guards the Garden.
Verse 3
Am C/G I killed men in Blue Eye, Barbaco, New Life and Crystal Wells. F C/G G In every town the broken-hearted rang their steeple bells, Am C/G For every man a box and for every hole a rose. Dm Dm Now the ground don’t want me Mama, the ground don’t want me, no, no, no. | Am G |
Chorus
F C/G What is the body when the soul has flown? G | C/G G | Has it only been forgotten? F C/G I wanna lay down in a field of bone, G F Fadd9 But an angel guards the Garden.

Verse 4
Am C/G Then one morning near Arkana I chanced to watch some violets rise, F C/G G Their lunar blues undoing down the fastening stays of night and I Am C/G Thought how sweet to sleep beneath the flowers such as those. Dm Dm Now the ground don’t want me Mama, the ground don’t want me, no, no, no. | Am G |
Chorus
F C/G What is the body when the soul has flown? G | C/G G | Has it only been forgotten? F C/G I wanna lay down in a field of bone, G F Fadd9 But an angel guards the Garden.
Verse 5
Am C/G Sometimes I think 'bout Mama with the knife still in her chest. F C/G G Sometimes I think about all those lucky men I sent to rest, Am C/G And how it's them who are a sleepin', and it's me who is the ghost. Dm Dm Now the ground don’t want me Mama, the ground don’t want me, no, no, no. | Am G |
Chorus
