Far From Here

G
(the first down stroke he plugs the first string and holds his first finger on fret 2 then hammers his second
finger on before moving his hand to form the G chord, he does this at several points throughout the song)

G
when my lips turn cold and purple
C                   G
and I take my last breath
G
were the pills I took really worth it
G                          D
to fight the demons in my head
        G
well I know I ain't bound for glory
        C               G
so I'm off to Hell it seems
G
I can hear that train a-coming
        D               G
I can hear the engine scream

        C
tell my momma that I'm sorry
        G
for I'm riding that long black train
G
I don't want to leave here
                            D
but I can't seem to numb the pain
     C
and when my soul does wander
      G
to a place far from here
           G
don't you mourn for me my darling
           D            G
don't you cry for me my dear

C D G D G

G
well I miss just being happy
        C               G
with nothing to hold me down
    G
now I can lay my thoughts to rest
                        D
they'll lay me in the ground
        G
I can say I miss your memory
        C               G
and the way you held me so
            G
now you'll hear that lonesome fiddle
D               G
as they lay me low

        C
tell my momma that I'm sorry
        G
for I'm riding that long black train
G
I don't want to leave here
                            D
but I can't seem to numb the pain
     C
and when my soul does wander
      G
to a place far from here
           G
don't you mourn for me my darling
           D            G
don't you cry for me my dear
           G
don't you mourn for me my darling
           D            G
don't you cry for me my dear
