[Intro]
G6 Am G6 Am G6 Em G6
G6 Am G6 Am G6 Em G6
[Verse 1]
G6 Am G6
Boys, workin' on empty
Am G6
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
Am G6
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
G6 Am G6
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
Am G6
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
Am G6
'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin' me
[Chorus]
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Em D
No grave can hold my body down
G6
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 2]
G6 Am G6
Boys, when my baby found me
Am G6
I was three days on a drunken sin
Am G6
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
G6 Am G6
And I was burnin' up a fever
Am G6
I didn't care much how long I lived
Am G6
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
Am G6
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus]
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Em D
No grave can hold my body down
G6
I'll crawl home to her
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Em D
No grave can hold my body down
G6
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 3]
G6 Am G6
My baby never fret none
Am G6
About what my hands and my body done
Am G6
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
G6 Am G6
When I was kissing on my baby
Am G6
And she put her love down soft and sweet
Am G6
In the low lamp light I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus]
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Em D
No grave can hold my body down
G6
I'll crawl home to her
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Em D
No grave can hold my body down
G6
I'll crawl home to her

I think the chorus chords should be the other way round i.e
Em D
When, my, time comes around
G6 Am
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
+10
the G6 shape should just be a normal G major shape chord in the original song he is making a A# bar chord
