Raised By The Graves

Intro: rhythm (4x) Verse 1: I was born in a town that the industry built in the tired dirt of the Tidewater To a hard headed man who had the good luck to marry a decent man's daughter And from my earliest days I could tell things were bad, the President's they were resigning. Chorus: (repeat 1/2 intro) And I was raised...by the Graves Verse 2 (play same chords as verse 1): I wore my brother's clothes because our house it was cold with a cry of "pennies make dollars" And we settled down so far from that town that God only knows if you holler And on the back of the farm there was an old graveyard where I used to play as a child. Chorus Electric Guitar Solo: play one verse and one chorus, then 1/2 intro, then another chorus + 1/2 intro Verse 3: 1/2 intro Well I struck out at home and I went on my own into a world that's already passed me 1/2 intro And I married a woman a lot like my mom and I act a lot like my daddy. 1/2 intro But when its time to go home I'll head back to the farm where the names will all be familiar. Chorus (2x) Repeat Intro 1 1/2 times (6 repeats of the rhythm)
