Lyrics and Guitar Chords Hozier - Work Song

Intro -x8-: C  Dm

C                        Dm
Boys workin on empty

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


Am                            G
    When, my, time comes around
C                                Dm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Am               G
    No grave can hold my body down
C
    I'll crawl home to her


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


Am                        G
    When, my, time comes around
C                                Dm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Am               G
    No grave can hold my body down
C
    I'll crawl home to her


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


Am                   G
    When, my, time comes around
C                                 Dm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Am               G
    No grave can hold my body down
C
    I'll crawl home to her 

Outro -x4-: C  Dm
