[Verse 1]

G                Am           G           Am
Mother they were lowering slowly into her grave
    G                    Am             G          Am
And the good priest was speaking on the happiness above
G/D    Am        G               Am
Here below where man was made to work and weep
G           Am           G              Am                 D
We all must walk through evil lands and bales of suffering

[Verse 2]

G          Am    G            Am
Suddenly a shout blew the ceremony
    G            Am                   G                  Am
The undertaker's man came running and waved a piece of paper:
 G/D      Am         G                 Am
"Sir this bill, he sought to let the undertaker know
G        Am           G                   Am
It's not paid", "well stop the show", his master said

[Chorus]

C                Am                    C                Am
The gravediggers raised the corpse and waited patiently at hand
C                    Am            C                      Am
The priest hissed in some dismay, "Is this quite the time or place?"

[Verse 3]

G            Am                G                  Am
Venomously father said: "we'll have the money tuesday"
    G              Am               G                   Am
The undertaker had to laugh: "well, tuesday she'll be buried"
 G/D  Am   G                    Am
"Charity", wept the priest in utter disbelief
 G           Am         G          Am
"Father Angerblow, the undertaker said

[Chorus]

C           Am               C                    Am
This misses business man and that coffin is worth a lot
C                Am        C                Am
Open it up right away boys there are others who can pay"

[Outro]

G      Am       G                Am
Here below where man was made to work and weep
G           Am           G              Am            G**
We all must walk through evil lands and bales of suffering
