[D] They buried him down near [G] Southwood road last [D] week
Near the old oak tree that [G] hangs over Southwood [D] Creek

and what finally made her snap no one really knows
some say the hard times, the black eyes and a broken heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part
