A         D                   G             D 
Well, the father of my father spent all his days 
A                        G            D 
Breaking the granite and carving the names  
D                          G            D 
Cast off the metal singing rust in your sleep  
   A                           G  
And pay close attention to the company you keep

    D                    G            D 
The eldest got up and he moved out of town  
       A                             G              D 
To that place farther down that they don’t call the south  
D                     G          D     
Sister comes by every once in a while 
    A                         G 
But her best intentions were always in doubt  

 
          D            G         D 
(He said) Bury my gold under the needles  
D                         A           D 
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines  
Bm      G               D 
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise  
A                          G             D 
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky  
A                          G             D      
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky

   D                               G           D 
The seeds that you plant they grow up and they bloom  
A                            G           D 
Leave you punch drunk on the scent of perfume  
D                             G       D 
Just like the wind they’ll be turning again  
A                    G 
Even your closest of kin 

 
G                  D            G         D 
(So he told me to) Bury my gold under the needles  
D                         A           D 
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines  
Bm      G               D 
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise  
A                          G             D 
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky  
A                          G             G 
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky

D                        G       D 
Wearing a sidearm and a crooked smile  
       A                     G        D 
Went to see Uncle John under overcast skies  
D                         G         D 
Searching for contraband, wondering why  
A                     G 
All of the bounty was nowhere in sight 

 
G                      D            G         D 
('Cause he told me to) Bury my gold under the needles  
D                         A           D 
Dropping on down from the tops of the pines  
Bm      G               D 
Whoa -  Smokes going to rise  
A                          G             D 
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky  
A                          G             D 
Spirit so strong knocked a bird from the sky 
A 
Spirit so strong......
