verse

A                                          D
Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a grave
                              A
He found the lot where she'd lay
A                                        
Then he drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
riff 2              A
To find him some peace

He got there round about twelve
                       D
And he stayed 'till three
                                   A
And the sun left him down in the valley
                                               D
But the moon met him up in the hills by the lake
                                 A
Reflecting the ghost of ma's face

riff 2     A
Suppertime came and went
                   D
No one heard from him
                            A
Sis' left his food on his plate
                               D
At the end of the table right next to ma's place
              A
Where nobody sits

Telephone rang about four
                 D
My sis answered it
                                     A
And I felt the news through the floorboards

Like a long sufferin' moan
D
Like a wreck on the road
                      A
Like a joining of hands

   G   D    A
Shala la   la
   G   D    A
Shala la   la
   G      D    A
Shalaaa  la   la
   G   D    A
Shala la   la
   G   D    A
Shala la   la
   G   D       A
Shala laaa   

riff 3 A
So I drove to town yesterday
                  D
To pick out his grave
                              A
I found the lot where they'd lay
                          D
And I drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
                     A
To find me some peace
