[Verso 1]
 
         Gm       Em 
I left a few sick mistakes 
       Gm                   Em 
at the bottom of Marrowbone Lake 
             Gm          Em 
They're in a bed made of silt 
      C7             Bb6 
and a water moccasin quilt 
 


[Verso 2]
 
         Gm               Em 
See, she loved to love me not 
     Gm                      Em 
So I picked them petals with buckshot 
    Gm            Em 
A Camellia flower wilts 
      C7                    Bb6 
and I don't feel a speck of guilt 
 


[Refrão]
 
    C        G 
Oh, my sweet Camelia 
      Em            G 
Oh, I hate I had to kill ya 
    C                 G 
But nothin' lasts fo' always 
       B7 
Even a prison sentence 
       B7 
Just a matter of days 
       B7        Gm 
Just a matter of days 
 


[Verso 3]
 
          Gm        Em 
You see I think she thought I cared 
        Gm            Em 
All for her and our affair 
       Gm            Em 
Well I guess in retrospect 
        C7               Bb6 
She was such a beautiful wreck 
 


[Verso 4]
 
     Gm                Em 
So I pay the price, my dear 
            Gm                  Em 
Hre's to a measly twenty-three yars 
         Gm           Em 
I've got more beds to make 
       C7                   Bb6 
At the bottom of Marrowbone Lake 
 


[Refrão]
 
    C        G 
Oh, my sweet Camelia 
      Em            G 
Oh, I hate I had to kill ya 
    C                 G 
But nothin' lasts fo' always 
       B7 
Even a prison sentence 
       B7 
Just a matter of days 
       B7        Gm 
Just a matter of days
