Standard (EADGBE)

There was a woman who loved her man

More than she loved herself

 Dirtnap one day took him away

Left her screaming for help

Chorus

And I said how does it feel

 And I said how does it feel

 Like all God’s promises are broken

 Like all God’s promises are broken

 Like all God’s promises are broken

 It’s like dying on Christmas day

 It’s like dying on Christmas day

 Before all gifts are open

I knew a man who had a friend

He loved in his own special way

He held his friend close in his arms

And his friend just melt away

Chorus

I had a love, a love of all loves

But the dirtnap covered her well

And the pain from the knife that cut us apart

Won’t stop on this side of hell

Chorus
