verse
LA RE
Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a grave
LA
He found the lot where she'd lay
LA
Then he drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
riff 2 LA
To find him some peace
He got there round about twelve
RE
And he stayed 'till three
LA
And the sun left him down in the valley
RE
But the moon met him up in the hills by the lake
LA
Reflecting the ghost of ma's face
riff 2 LA
Suppertime came and went
RE
No one heard from him
LA
Sis' left his food on his plate
RE
At the end of the table right next to ma's place
LA
Where nobody sits
Telephone rang about four
RE
My sis answered it
LA
And I felt the news through the floorboards
Like a long sufferin' moan
RE
Like a wreck on the road
LA
Like a joining of hands
SOL RE LA
Shala la la
SOL RE LA
Shala la la
SOL RE LA
Shalaaa la la
SOL RE LA
Shala la la
SOL RE LA
Shala la la
SOL RE LA
Shala laaa
riff 3 LA
So I drove to town yesterday
RE
To pick out his grave
LA
I found the lot where they'd lay
RE
And I drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
LA
To find me some peace
