Gravedigger Willie Nelson
Tabbed by: Juan Hernandez
This is how I play this song, I don't know if this is
the exact same way Willie plays it, but it sounds good.
Intro: Am | G | E | Am G | D/F# | Am | Am
[Am] Cyrus Jones, 1810 [G]to 1913
[F] Made his great grandchildren believe
He could[Am] live to a hundred and three
[Am] A hundred and three is forever [G]when you're just a little
kid
[F]So Cyrus Jones lived f[Am]orever
Chorus: (Note: played the same as the intro)
Grave[Am]digger
When you dig [G]my grave

Gravedigg[Am]er[Am]
[Am] Muriel Stonewall, 19[G]03 to 1954
