Creosote

[Intro ]
D 


 
D 
Skinny white knees, ain't no breeze 
D 
Down by the trestle 
D 
Blackberry grin running down her chin 
D 
Dark as pitch oil 
                   G 
Lying on our backs right by the tracks 
D 
Ain't gonna want no supper 
 

 
      D 
Don't cry for me, oh, when I die 
     G                    D 
Just mark my grave with a railroad tie 
D 
In an old pine box, honey, lay me low 
    Bb              C       F G C  Dm 
And seal it up with creosote 
 

 
D 
Me and Randy Joe, we know where to go 
D 
When we gotta get closer 
D 
We run and found a little patch of ground 
D 
Where the cars pass over 
D 
Stars looking down 
  G                         D 
I lost it to the sound of a Carolina freight line howling 
 

 
      D 
Don't cry for me, oh, when I die 
     G                    Dm 
Just mark my grave with a railroad tie 
D 
I ain't got no use for streets of gold (For streets of gold) 
           Bb                 C 
No, honey, Heaven smells like creosote 
 

 
G 
If where I'm going looks like where I've been 
                                         A F 
They're 'bout to paint my wings black as sin 


{Instrumental Break } 
E      D    G  D    G  F G 
Come on 
 
 
      D 
Don't cry for me (Don't cry for me), honey, when I die (Honey, when I die) 
           G                    D 
You better mark my grave with a railroad tie (Mark my grave with a railroad tie) 
D 
In an old pine box (Ooh), honey, lay me low (Ooh) 
    G               F   D     G                   D 
You seal it up with creosote, seal it up with creosote
