        Em  D/F#  G  D  Em 
 
Verse 1:
         Em         D/F# G 
If I die young, write my mother 
                D 
Tell her that I love her 
                   Em 
But my soul's gone home 
            Em            D/F# G 
And take my vessel to Anderson County 
           D 
Drive real slow 
                      Em 
And take the long way home 
        Em          D/F# G 
Tell my kin to pick up a shovel 
             D 
Wrestle that sugar sand 
            Em 
And bury my bones 
                  Em            D/F#  G 
Won't you bury my bones beneath these pines 
              D                       Em 
When it comes time for you to bury my bones

Verse 2:
                  Em             D/F#  G 
Don't throw me no funeral sister don't cry 
         D 
Saw that fiddle brother 
          Em 
Pass that shine 
                 Em              D/F#    G 
Deep down in the holler pick the tallest pine 
            D 
Dig it real deep 
                      Em 
Where the roots touch mine 
              Em             D/F#  G 
Cross the Red River where it opens wide 
            D 
The heroine sails 
               Em 
To the Choctaw side 
          Em           D/F# G 
Follow my trail to a silver stone 
              D 
And gather my body 
                 Em 
When you bury my bones 
                  Em 
Won't you bury my bones

         C               G 
If I die young, write my mother 
                D 
Tell her that I love her 
                   Em 
But my soul's gone home 
            C                G 
And take me back to Anderson County 
           D 
Drive real slow 
                      D 
And take the long way home 
        C                G 
Tell my kin to pick up a shovel 
             D 
Wrestle that sugar sand 
            Em 
And bury my bones 
        C                   G 
Bury my bones beneath these pines 
              D 
When it comes time
