C5 Eb F


[Verse]
C5       Eb           Fm
 Lay my body down on Mercy Street
C5          Eb              Fm
Or deep beneath the darkest seas
C5      Eb            Fm
Lay my body six feet under down in Old Noarlunga
C5        Eb                 Fm
Right beneath the ghost gum trees


[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                    Ab   
 Doesn't matter where
Bb                       Ab  Fm
  You won't find me there


[Chorus]
C5    Eb        Ab                       Bb
No grave Gonna hold my spirit down
C5              Eb                      Ab  Fm Eb
Ain't no grave Hold my spirit down
C5     Eb                Ab                             Bb
Lord knows they'll never keep me in the ground
      C5         Eb            Ab                       Bb
Ain't no grave Hold my spirit down


[Verse]
C5           Eb         Fm
It's alright mama, now don't be sad
C5          Eb              Fm
It's alright, don't cry for me
C5         Eb               Fm
They can lock my flesh and bones up until kingdom come
C5         Eb          Fm
But my spirit will be free

[Bridge]
Bb                              Bb       Db5 
It's a dead end search It's a nowhere thread
Eb                           Db5       Bb
Looking for the living down among the dead
Bb                         Db5 
No devil in hell No angel above
Eb                             Db5        Bb
Can separate the saints from the love of God
