[F] [C] [G] [A]
[F] [C] [G]
[F]my name is Miguel [C]Simone
[G]a man who walked it a[A]lone
[F]at least that's what it says on the [C]stone under
the [G]sycamore
my mother was [F]dead by the time i was [C]born
in the black of my[G] eyes the gypsy nurse [A]warned
[F]she could already see my path[C] torn between the sun
and the [G]moon
so i walked i[F]t and i walked it s[C]traight
until i [G]passed through so many a [A]gate
that not[F] even the blame and the [C]hate of my father
could [G]follow
so roll me [F]into my last shallow [C]bed
use [G]carpenter tacks in the [A]lid
[F]waste not the silk on my [C]head my lover has [G]wove
see that no[F] roses touch my [C]grave
no prayers to a[G] god i never f[A]orgave
[F]no final wishes, [G]save that you
[C]bury my body and [G]me down by Whiskey Grov[C]e
Riff 2
i once [F]knew the love of a [C]wife
sometimes the [G]nectar, sometimes the k[A]nife
but it [F]always seemed that my l[C]ife was lived
alongside[G] of things
three children[F] born one hot J[C]uly
she clutched the o[G]ne that did not d[A]ie
[F]the heat and the light just passed [C]by as i carried
the other t[G]wo -
i still carry the o[F]ther two
so roll me [F]into my last shallow [C]bed
use [G]carpenter tacks in the [A]lid
[F]waste not the silk on my [C]head my lover has [G]wove
see that no[F] roses touch my [C]grave
no prayers to a[G] god i never f[A]orgave
[F]no final wishes, [G]save that you
[C]bury my body and [G]me down by Whiskey Grov[C]e
Riff 2
i've seen the p[F]lace where the daylight was k[C]illed
and the b[G]lood of a blue moon lay sp[A]illed
where hearts go [F]quiet, memory s[C]tilled, rest is
b[G]estowed
it's a place where the[F] cup passeth over for [C]good
and even J[G]esus would've hid if he co[A]uld
in that [F]forsaken stretch of w[C]ood they call Whiskey[G] Grove
so roll me[F] into my last shallow[C] bed
use [G]carpenter tacks in the [A]lid
[F]waste not the silk on my [C]head my lover has [G]wove
see that no[F] roses touch my [C]grave
no prayers to a[G] god i never f[A]orgave
[F]no final wishes, [G]save that you
[C]bury my body and [G]me down by Whiskey Grov[C]e
Riff 2
my [F]name is Miguel [C]Simone
a [G]man who walked it [A]alone
at [F]least that's what it says on my [C]stone under the
syc[G]amore
