Funeral Beds

C, Am, F, C

[Verse]
C
These great fields are stretching,
Am                  C
Taking me oh so far
C
Great fields are stretching,
Am                            C
Savannah stretching oh so far
Am
And this dry air is taking
F                           C
My girl and it's oh so hard
Am                            
And i wish i had a melody for a 
  F                             C
songbird to sing back my love

[Chorus]
Am
Oh my savannah,
F                          C
Did it have to be so hard?
Am
Oh my savannah,
F                                 
Taking all my love and all my 
  C
heart

[Verse]
Tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black 
and grey
And old john won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever 
laid
The fastest bullet flying,
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'Cause the plains they took my baby
And i'm gonna take her to the 
funeral beds to lay

[Chorus]
Am
Oh my savannah,
F                          C
Did it have to be so hard?
