(D A G E A)

[Verse 1]
         D       A        G        E  A
Well I went way out North Carolina way
         D       A             G                 E  A
To that old graveyard where my great grandmother lay
         G       A           D                G
And the day was bright and I hadn't slept all night
                  D              A                     G                A
And they sold the place to some guys who were building graduate student housing

[Verse 2]
       D          A
No one raised any objections
          G                       E  A
They were knocking the headstones down
        D        A        G             E  A
And the sun was high when I rolled into town
           G                    A
Stood by a nameless hole in the ground
    D                 G
The air was sweet and hot
         D             A
Maybe it was the right grave
G     A
Maybe not


[Verse 3]
        D           A
But the crows crows crows
G           A
Rose, rose, rose from the grave

[Intro] 
(D A G E A)

         D           A
Yeah the crows crows crows
G           A
Rose, rose, rose from the grave
