Capo 1
GD
Just a mile down the road
GC
And a street or two away
G
There's that freckled missus that I
DG
want most every day
GD
Out to the home of her father
GC
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
G
Tell him she's the woman who can
DG
Wake me from my sleep
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened, but
BmC
I haven't gone back since
GDG
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
GD
Now I will roll, I will suffer
GC
Curse the soil and curse the stones
GDG
My eyes will be fixed on that girl with the stubborn voice
GD
I've know her for a year
GC
Only seen her seven days
GDG
One week too many to keep men like me away
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened
BmC
Though I haven't gone back since
GDG
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
GEmGEmCGGD
So three years after, I found her doorstep
GC
Found her shoes and found her kin
GDG
They told me old grim reaper done gone and turned her in
GD
Pouring liquor on the stone
GC
That marks my lost and gone
GDG
I will whimper, wail, and sing a funeral song

A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it
should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
