 Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913 
F               
 Made his great grandchildren believe 
        Am 
He could live to a hundred and three 
Am                              G 
 A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little  
kid 
F                     Am 
So Cyrus Jones lived forever

When you dig my grave 
                  E 
Could you make it shallow 
        Am     G           D/F# 
So that I can feel the rain 
         Am     Am

 Lost both of her babies in the second great war 
               Am 
Now you should never have to watch 
                      G 
Your only children are lowered in the ground 
           F                           Am 
You should never have to bury your own babies 

     Am

Dm          F         C  G 
Ring around the rosey 
Dm          F        C  G 
Pocket full of posey 
Dm    F        C  G 
Ashes to ashes 

We all fall down 

     Am 
Gravedigger 
             G 
When you dig my grave 
                  E

Bike like the devil until the day he died 
              Am                                  G 
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying  
trapeze 
   F          Am 
Oh, 1940 to 1992
