[Intro]
A#5/F C5/G A#5/F C5/G A#5/F C5/G A#5/F (2x)
[Verse]
A#5/F C5/G
Boys workin on empty
A#5/F C5/G
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
A#5/F C5/G
I just think about my baby
A#5/F
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
A#5/F C5/G
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
A#5/F C5/G
I never want once from the cherry tree
A#5/F C5/G
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
A#5/F
She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus]
Gm Fmaj
When, my, time comes around
A#/F Cm/G
....Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Fmaj
...No grave can hold my body down
A#/F
....I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 2]
A#5/F C5/G
....That's when my baby found me
A#5/F C5/G
I was three days on a drunken sin
A#5/F C5/G
...I woke with her walls around me
A#5/F
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
A#5/F C5/G
.....And I was burnin up a fever
A#5/F C5/G
I didn't care much how long I lived
A#5/F C5/G
.....But I swear I thought I dreamed her
A#5/F
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus]
Gm Fmaj
When, my, time comes around
A#/F Cm/G
....Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Fmaj
...No grave can hold my body down
A#/F
....I'll crawl home to her
[Chorus]
Gm Fmaj
When, my, time comes around
A#/F Cm/G
....Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Fmaj
...No grave can hold my body down
A#/F
....I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 3]
A#5/F C5/G
.....My baby never fret none
A#5/F C5/G
About what my hands and my body done
A#5/F C5/G
.....If the Lord don't forgive me
A#5/F C5/G
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
A#5/F C5/G
.....When I was kissing on my baby
A#5/F C5/G
And she put her love down soft and sweet
A#5/F C5/G
....In the lowland plot I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus]
Gm Fmaj
When, my, time comes around
A#/F Cm/G
....Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Fmaj
...No grave can hold my body down
A#/F
....I'll crawl home to her
[Chorus]
Gm Fmaj
When, my, time comes around
A#/F Cm/G
....Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Fmaj
...No grave can hold my body down
A#/F
....I'll crawl home to her
[Outro]

The base notes on A#5 and C5 are perfect. I added them to the whole cords playing A#/F and Cm/G and I like the sounds of the fuller chords with those modified base notes as well. Thanks for the tab,cj
