Eliza Gilkyson - Death In Arkansas
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: F C F

I remember how the wood would smell
C
Just as the last great tree was felled

Like many that came before

It was used for a table and a door
F C F
A palette and a long hall rack
C
Where hung my great grandfather's hat

A stable and a barn, a bed and a seat

A roof and fence and a floor that creaked

And a coffin leaning against the wall
F C F C
When there was a death in Arkansas
F
I liked the wagons and the wheels
C
The wind that knocked us down in the fields

And the girls with the southern drawl

And those that came before were the pictures on the wall

And the lone dogs howled and the crows would caw
F
When there was a death in Arkansas
Bb
We were laid to rest under the sun
F
And we breathed our last and it was done
