[A]Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a gr[D]ave
He found the lot where she'd l[A]ay
[A]Then he drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
riff 2              A
To find him some peace

He got there round about twelve
And he stayed 'till thr[D]ee
And the sun left him down in the va[A]lley
But the moon met him up in the hills by the lak[D]e
Reflecting the ghost of ma's face[A]

riff 2     A
Suppertime came and went
No one heard from h[D]im
Sis' left his food on his pl[A]ate
At the end of the table right n[D]ext to ma's place
Where nobody s[A]its

Telephone rang about four
My sis answered i[D]t
And I felt the news through the floor[A]boards

Like a long sufferin' moan
[D]Like a wreck on the road
Like a joining of hand[A]s

Sha[G]la l[D]a   l[A]a
Sha[G]la l[D]a   l[A]a
Sha[G]laaa  l[D]a   l[A]a
Sha[G]la l[D]a   l[A]a
Sha[G]la l[D]a   l[A]a
Sha[G]la l[D]aaa     [A]

riff 3 A
So I drove to town yesterday
To pick out his gr[D]ave
I found the lot where they'd l[A]ay
And I drove to old man Ed [D]Sederdoms's place
To find me some peace[A]
