CAPO 3 Em The snow falls on the passes And it covers up the rails D Em And the hired men ride up to make them clean Em It's a winter camp and a frozen damp And a shovel in your hand D Em And a coal train comes rumbling through the seam Am That morning came up shining G Clear and sharp as broken glass D Em We were riding for the tracks at Sugaree Am All holler and high spirit G And the devil take the last D Em And Henry lay a wager then to me Em He said "I've got five dollars And a whiskey at the bar D Em Says I make the tracks ahead of you" Em So we touched our horses up Sent them running down the hill D Em And I did something I never meant to do ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeffrey_foucault/doubletree_crd.html ) Am Well I cut hard behind him Em From his blind side I come around D Em Just as we were going down the scree Am Em I only meant to scare him but he tumbled to the ground D Em And he broke his neck beneath the doubletree G D Em So you take him cut him out in a length of pine G D Lay him out in a suit of clothes G C Best that you can find G D Em Lay his body gentle in the ground C D And say a prayer for Henry G Em Before you lay him down Em The night before poor Henry died We slept on open ground D Em The circus of the stars a blaze of white Em Henry was the best friend that I ever had G D Em And I slept still as a child that night
