Intro chords: GGEm# GGEm# GGEm# DEm Capo 3 G G/F# Em Its Decoration Day G G/F# Em And Ive a mind to roll a stone on his grave G G/F# Em But what would he say D Em Keeping me down, boy, wont keep me away G G/F# Em Its Decoration Day G G/F# Em And I knew the Hill Boys that put him away G G/F# Em But my Daddy wasnt afraid D Em He said Wed fight till the last Lawsons last living day I never knew how it all got started A problem with Holland before we were born And I dont know the name of that boy we tied down And beat till he just couldnt walk anymore But I know the caliber in Daddys chest And I know what Holland Hill drives The state let him go but I guess it was best Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive Daddy said one of the boys had come by The lumber mans favorite son He said, Beat him real good but dont dare let him die And if you see Holland Hill run Well I said, they aint give us trouble no more That we aint brought down on ourselves But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor And Ill send all the Hill Boys to hell, Ill send all the Hill boys to hell Its Decoration Day And Ive got a family in Mobile Bay And theyve never seen my Daddys grave But that dont bother me, it aint marked anyway Cause I got dead brothers in Lauderdale south And I got dead brothers in east Tennessee My Daddy got shot right in front of his house He had no one to fall on but me Its Decoration Day And Ive got a mind to go spit on his grave If I was a Hill, Id have put him away And Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day
