Verse
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
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 some things I can see
 
Chorus
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have lived among the angels
You never were that brave
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have been up to the mountain
There are things you can't take
 
Verse
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
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
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have lived among the angels
You never were that brave
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have been up to the mountain
There are things you can't take

Bridge
F CI'm 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
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
You never were that brave
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have been up to the mountain
There are things you can't take
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have lived among the angels
You never were that brave
F CYou won't dig my grave
F CYou won't dig my grave
GI have been up to the mountain
There are things you can't take
