Hi guys, mydoneksyonfire here. The majority of the chords in this song are sang, not played on the 
guitar but it sounds grand anyway. Enjoy

Intro: A#   Cm (x8)

A#                        Cm
Boys workin on empty
A#                                                Cm
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
A#                           Cm
I just think about my baby
A#                        
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
A#                                    Cm
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
A#                                      Cm
I never want once from the cherry tree
A#                               Cm
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
A#                        
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

Gm           F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her

A#                           Cm
That's when my baby found me
A#                                 Cm
I was three days on a drunken sin
A#                               Cm
I woke with her walls around me
A#                                    Cm
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
A#                            Cm
And I was burnin up a fever
A#                                   Cm
I didn't care much how long I lived
A#                                    Cm
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
A#                        
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

Gm            F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her                (Repeat chorus)


A#                        Cm
My baby never fret none
A#                                    Cm
About what my hands and my body done
A#                            Cm
If the Lord don't forgive me
A#                        
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
A#                             Cm
When I was kissing on my baby
A#                                        Cm
And she put her love down soft and sweet
A#                              Cm
In the lowland plot I was free
A#                        
Heaven and hell were words to me


Gm            F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her             (Repeat chorus)


A#  Cm (x4)
