Am


[Verse 1]

    Am             F        E7    Am
She left me in the darkness, all alone
    Am                F
She abandoned all the good times 
        E7                Am
And the love I thought we had 


[Chorus]

            F            C       G                Am
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the aisle 
 F                C          G                 E7
 Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
      F                  C 
 With every earth filled shovel 
      G                Am
 They dig that eternal bed 
            F            C
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead 


[Verse 2]

          Am                     F        
She don't call me, and she don't try to 
       E7                      Am
And my praying can't bring her back 
   Am            F
My eyes are wide open 
            E7             Am
Watching my future fade to black 


[Chorus]

            F            C       G                Am
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the aisle 
 F                C          G                 E7
 Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
      F                  C 
 With every earth filled shovel 
      G                Am
 They dig that eternal bed 
            F            C
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead 


[Verse 3]

     Am               F
I've pondered trading places 
         E7                 Am
With the man laying in that hearse 
  Am               F
I tried to hold my head up 
        E7                 Am
But her leaving, is like a curse 


[Chorus]

            F            C       G                Am
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the aisle 
 F                C          G                 E7
 Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
      F                  C 
 With every earth filled shovel 
      G                Am
 They dig that eternal bed 
            F            C
 I'm like a lonesome pallbearer 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead 
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead  
 G            Am
 Carrying the dead
