Dig Two Graves
Intro : C G/B Am G F
(Verse 1)
C G/B
I promised you, on the day we wed
Am G F
’Till death do us part, yeah that was what I said
C G/B
But things have changed, since I made that vow
Am G F
The love I felt for you is so much deeper now
Dm G
So I’ve made up my mind
(Verse 2)
C G/B
When the family sings, Sweet By and By
Am G F
They might as well go on and tell us both good-bye
C G/B
Because you've come to be my heart and soul
Am G F
The air I breathe, the reason there’s life in these bones
Dm G
So I’ve made up my mind, girl if it’s your time
(Chorus 1)
C F
They can dig two graves, just carve one stone
Am G
Cause without you here, I won't last long
F G Am
Your love’s the blood running through these veins
F G C
So if He calls you home, they can dig two graves
(Bridge)
G F C
Surely the good Lord won’t ask me to be that strong
G Dm F
Because it kills me just to think about you being gone
(Chorus 2)
C F
They can dig two graves, just carve one stone
Am G
Cause without you here, I won't last long
F G Am
Your love’s the blood running through these veins
F G C
So if He calls you home, they can dig two graves
F G Am
Tell the Lord above, no need to wait
F G C
So if He calls you home, they can dig two graves
