G Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G x2

[Verse 1]
G               Cmaj7 G6/9
Cryin like a baby
G              Cmaj7 G6/9
In my momma's arms
G                         Cmaj7 G6/9
The day they came to tell me
G            Cmaj7 G6/9
You were gone

[Verse 2]
G                      Cmaj7 G6/9
What have you done to me
G                    Cmaj7 G6/9
You did not do before
G                            Cmaj7 G6/9
I had you standing right next to me
G         Cmaj7 G6/9
On the floor

[Verse 3]
G                             Cmaj7 G6/9
Well, we sang in the same places
G                   Cmaj7 G6/9
We were a double-draw
G                         Cmaj7 G6/9
And the folks came to see us
G         Cmaj7 G6/9
Had it all

[Verse 4]
G                             Cmaj7 G6/9
But they took you to some stony place
G                             Cmaj7 G6/9
And they broke your double-jaw
G                         Cmaj7 G6/9
Now the pieces of its ivory
G             Cmaj7 G6/9
Line the wall

[Verse 5]
G                         Cmaj7 G6/9
With cold iron in the fireplace
G                     Cmaj7 G6/9
And pictures on the wall
G                             Cmaj7 G6/9 G
Well I guess it's a-dying peacefully, so far
G                           Cmaj7 G6/9 G
Yes, I guess it's dying peacefully, so far

[Verse 6]
G               Cmaj7 G6/9
Crying like a baby
G               Cmaj7 G6/9
In my momma's arms
G               Cmaj7 G6/9
The day they came to tell me
G            Cmaj7 G6/9
You were gone
G            Cmaj7 G6/9
You were gone
G            Cmaj7 G6/9
You were gone
