Hozier – Work Song
Capo: Fret 3
[Intro]
[G6] [Am] [G6] [Am] [G6] [Em] [G6]
[G6] [Am] [G6] [Am] [G6] [Em] [G6]
[Verse 1]
[G6][Am][G6]Boys, workin’ on empty
[Am][G6]Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
[Am][G6]I just think about my baby
I’m so full of love I could barely eat
[G6][Am][G6]There’s nothing sweeter than my baby
[Am][G6]I’d never want once from the cherry tree
[Am][G6]’Cause my baby’s sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin’ me
[Chorus]
[Em][D]When, my, time comes around
[G6][Am]Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[Em][D]No grave can hold my body down
[G6]I’ll crawl home to her
[Verse 2]
[G6][Am][G6]Boys, when my baby found me
[Am][G6]I was three days on a drunken sin
[Am][G6]I woke with her walls around me
Nothin’ in her room but an empty crib
[G6][Am][G6]And I was burnin’ up a fever
[Am][G6]I didn’t care much how long I lived
[Am][G6]But I swear I thought I dreamed her
[Am][G6]She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus]
[Em][D]When, my, time comes around
[G6][Am]Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[Em][D]No grave can hold my body down
[G6]I’ll crawl home to her
[Em][D]When, my, time comes around
[G6][Am]Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[Em][D]No grave can hold my body down
[G6]I’ll crawl home to her
[Verse 3]
[G6][Am][G6]My baby never fret none
[Am][G6]About what my hands and my body done
[Am][G6]If the Lord don’t forgive me
I’d still have my baby and my babe would have me
[G6][Am][G6]When I was kissing on my baby
[Am][G6]And she put her love down soft and sweet
[Am][G6]In the low lamp light I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus]
[Em][D]When, my, time comes around
[G6][Am]Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[Em][D]No grave can hold my body down
[G6]I’ll crawl home to her
[Em][D]When, my, time comes around
[G6][Am]Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[Em][D]No grave can hold my body down
[G6]I’ll crawl home to her
