Zach Dylan - 23Rd Psalm

      [Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
He was all decked out in his work day best
                                   G
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
    C
The first one in, last one out

Best seat in the good Lord's house
         G
He could see it all
    Am
I'm sure he smiled as the preacher read
G                              C
And his unsteady hand read his last request

[Chorus]
        G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
         D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
      Em                          C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
       G                                          D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
    Em                      C
And send me home back to my makers arms
       D                C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm

[Verse 2]
C
He came back from France in '44
                                         G
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
        C
Lived a hard scratch farmer's life
                                        G
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
       Am
He was never one to ask for much
       G                                            C
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved

[Chorus]
        G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
         D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
      Em                          C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
       G                                          D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
    Em                      C
And send me home back to my makers arms
       D                C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm

[Verse 3]
     C
Well lay me down in greener pastures
G
Right beside the quiet waters
            C                             F
Through the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul

[Chorus]
        G
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
         D
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
      Em                          C
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
       G                                          D
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
    Em                      C
And send me home back to my makers arms
       D                C
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
