Intro C 

verse 1 
C 
He was all decked out in his work day best 
                                   G 
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls 
    C 
The first one in, last one out 

Best seat in the good Lord's house 
         G 
He could see it all 
    Am 
I'm sure he smiled as the preacher read 
G                              C 
And his unsteady hand read his last request 


[Refrão]
        G 
When my work is done, the worlds through with me 
         D 
And I've plowed my last tobacco field 
      Em                          C 
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me 
       G                                          D 
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily 
    Em                      C 
And send me home back to my makers arms 
       D                C 
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm 

verse 2 
C 
He came back from France in '44 
                                         G 
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door 
        C 
Lived a hard scratch farmer's life 
                                        G 
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored 
       Am 
He was never one to ask for much 
       G                                            C 
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved 


[Refrão]
        G 
When my work is done, the worlds through with me 
         D 
And I've plowed my last tobacco field 
      Em                          C 
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me 
       G                                          D 
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily 
    Em                      C 
And send me home back to my makers arms 
       D                C 
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm 

verse 3 
     C 
Well lay me down in greener pastures 
G 
Right beside the quiet waters 
            C                             F 
Through the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul 


[Refrão]
        G 
When my work is done, the worlds through with me 
         D 
And I've plowed my last tobacco field 
      Em                          C 
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me 
       G                                          D 
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily 
    Em                      C 
And send me home back to my makers arms 
       D                C 
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
