Gravedigger
Willie Nelson
Tabbed by: Juan Hernandez
This is how I play this song, I don't know if this is
the exact same way Willie plays it, but it sounds good.

Intro: Am | G | E | Am G | D/F# | Am | Am

 Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
F              
 Made his great grandchildren believe
        Am
He could live to a hundred and three
Am                              G
 A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little 
kid
F                     Am
So Cyrus Jones lived forever
