Intro: Am Am/G E Am Am/G G6 Am

Am                  G6
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
E                                              Am
Made his great-grandchildren believe you could live to a hundred and three
Am                                         G6
a hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
E                    Am
so Cyrus Jones lived forever


Chorus:

     Am
Gravedigger
                G
when you dig my grave
                  E
could you make it shallow
        Am      G              Dsus2
so that I could feel the rain
     Am
Gravedigger


Am                G
Myrial Stonewall 1903 to 1954
E                              Am
lost both of her babies in the second great war
               Am
now you should never have to watch
             G
as your only children are lowered in the ground
E                                Am
you should have to bury your own babies


*Chorus*

Dm              Dm7    C  G Bb G
Ring around the rosey
Dm             Dm7    C  G Bb G
Pocket full of posey
Dm       Dm7   C  G Bb G
Ashes to ashes
Dm   Dm7    C        G
         We all fall down


*Chorus*

Am                     G  
Little Mickey Carson '67 to '75
            E                             Am
He rode his bike like the devil until the day he died
              Am                                    G
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertical on the flying trapeez
E         Am
1940 to 1992


*Chorus* 2X

Ending:
