[Verse 1]
F CI Am no weeping willow
F CI Am no fragile flower
F CTo be taken by the frost
GOr by the lateness of the hour
 
[Verse 2]
F CI have lived in consternation
F COf the road ahead for me
F CAnd despite that I can't see that far
GThere are things that I can see
 
[Chorus]
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
G CI've lived among the angels
GYou never were that brave
 
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI've been up to the mountain
GThere are things that you can't take
 
[Verse 3]
F CFrom that morning by the river
F CWhere once I touched her hem
F CTo my midnight in the garden
GWithout a solitary friend
 
[Verse 4]
F CThe rock of my salvation
F CWas the girl who took my hand
F CYou've never been loved the way I have
GYou wouldn't understand
 
[Chorus]
F CYou won't dig my grave (won't dig)
F CYou won't dig my grave (my grave)
G CI've lived among the angels
GYou never were that brave
 
F CYou won't dig my grave (won't dig)
F CYou won't dig my grave (my grave)
G CI've been up to the mountain
G GThere are things that you can't take
 
[Interlude]
F C F C F C GWoo ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
F C F C F C F GOoh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
 
[Verse 5]
F CI Am told there's many mansions
F CI Am not afraid to go
F CBut the call that I Am waiting on
GWill not come from below
 
[Verse 6]
F CMy angel suffers no fools
F CI Am Hers and she is mine
F CAnd woe betide the man who tries
GTo take me 'fore my time
 
[Chorus]
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have lived among the angels
GYou never were that brave
 
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
G CI have been up to the mountain
G GThere are things that you can't take
 
F CYou won't dig my grave (won't dig)
F CYou won't dig my grave (my grave)
GI have lived among the angels
GI have lived among the angels
 
F CYou won't dig my grave (won't dig)
F CYou won't dig my grave (my grave)
G CI've been up to the mountain
G GThere are things that you can't take, no
