[Intro] C
[Verse 1]
CHe was all decked out in his work day best
GClean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
CThe first one in, last one out
Best seat in the good Lord's house
GHe could see it all
AmI'm sure he smiled as the preacher read
G CAnd his unsteady hand read his last request
[Chorus]
GWhen my work is done, the worlds through with me
DAnd I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em CDon't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G DWith a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em CAnd send me home back to my makers arms
D CWith amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 2]
CHe came back from France in '44
GPurple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
CLived a hard scratch farmer's life
GA few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
AmHe was never one to ask for much
G CBut to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved
[Chorus]
GWhen my work is done, the worlds through with me
DAnd I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em CDon't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G DWith a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em CAnd send me home back to my makers arms
D CWith amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 3]
CWell lay me down in greener pastures
GRight beside the quiet waters
C FThrough the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul
[Chorus]
GWhen my work is done, the worlds through with me
DAnd I've plowed my last tobacco field
Em CDon't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
G DWith a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
Em CAnd send me home back to my makers arms
D CWith amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[END VERSE]
CHe was all decked out in his work day best
