For Matt Davis

Am

          Am
Oh let me lay
                Dm
          Down beside
        G                  Am
My dear friend who's gone away
Am                           Dm
Cover me o-ver with dirt and sod
       E7                  Am
Let me hasten my departure day

Am      Dm             Am
For how long? For that day?
              Dm             E7
When we'll be dancing on the storm clouds
          Am             Dm
Shake the rain  from the sky
         Am  G  Fm7
Onto our graaaaaves
             E                Am
We'll all be waiting for that day

Am                               Dm
Well Will Whitmore mixed up some shine
              E              Dm
Filled up the jug and met us walking
         Am
Down the line

    Dm        Am
The line, the line
          Dm               Am
He met us walking down the line
   Dm                 E
To join our friend in heaven
         Am
Down the line

    Dm        Am
The line, the line
          Dm               Am
He met us walking down the line
   Dm                 E
To join our friend in heaven
         Am
Down the line

Am        Dm            E
And every chain gang in heaven
     Am              C
They lifted up their arms
            Dm               Am
And made an aisle for him to walk
            E
Between the rows
         Dm                      E
And each plant bowed down toward him
      Am            C
As he passed, as he passed
                Dm            Am
They kept their necks in reverence
        E
For the preacher’s son

Am        Dm            E
And every chain gang in heaven
     Am              C
They lifted up their arms
            Dm               Am
And made an aisle for him to walk

Between the rows
         Dm                      E
And each plant bowed down toward him
      Am            C
As he passed, as he passed
                Dm            Am
They kept their necks in reverence
        E
For the preacher’s son
