Now you're gone must be three years long I still feel it in this heart of mine
Cm                                                     Eb             Bb                 Cm
This heavy heart of mine seems to waste no time facing burden in this troubled lonesome soul
Cm                                                                   Eb              Bb          Cm
Well the troubles that you find in the things I left behind when you rode off in the dark that night
Cm                                                                      Eb          Bb         Cm
And now you're gone for good and I think it's understood that you ain't ever coming back this way

They found in you those mines hiding deep within those pines in the mountains where I dare not go
Cm                                                              Eb             Bb              Cm
And I struggled not to cry as the soil closed your eyes and the digger put the shovel to his hands
Cm                                                       Eb             Bb          Cm
But I shed no tears even after all these years that I've spent running 'round with you
Cm                                                               Eb          Bb           Cm
Oh I must have made it hurt as they covered you in dirt and they lowered you into the ground

[Chorus]
Eb                   Cm
Ohhh heavy heart of mine
Eb            Bb            Cm
Ohhh it's a heavy heart of mine

They said when you got killed that the wrong blood had been spilled and the guilty slipped away into the night
Cm                                                                 Eb                Bb         Cm
Don't think I felt no shame when I denied to know your name to the man that would've stolen my life
Cm                                                            Eb             Bb             Cm
And I still shed many tears even after all these years that I spent running 'round without you
Cm                                                                 Eb          Bb         Cm
And now I'm gone for good and I think it's understood that I ain't ever coming back this way

Eb                   Cm
Ohhh heavy heart of mine
Eb           Bb      Cm
Ohhh heavy heart of mine
Eb                   Cm
Ohhh heavy heart of mine
Eb            Bb            Cm
Ohhh it's a heavy heart of mine
