[Verse 1]
Dm C
Just for a day for a night
Bb F
If I could only set things right
Dm C F
And leave out of town
Dm C
Part ways with the darkness
Bb F
And step into the light
F C
From the silence to the sound
[Chorus]
Bb F Dm
Of an old time mountain band playing all the songs I know
Bb F
Marching me to the gallows high
Bb
I step up to the rope
F Dm
Where both my hands are tied
Dm C
And I'll sing out before I die
C F
Tell everyone I love that I tried
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb F
A breeze crept through my house today
Dm C F
And I knew that it was you
Dm C Bb F
It came to my bed and so softly said
F C
Be kind and I'll be true
[Chorus]
Bb F Dm
But a bed of broken vows is all that I have now
Bb F
And I tend to lose
Bb F Dm
I slip down to the river to get some peace of mind
Dm C
But you are gone and the rivers dry
C F
Tell everyone I love that I tried
[Outro]
