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
