Intro:  D9, Am7, (walk up via G) C , G

[D9]    Papa died [Am7] smiling 
[G->C] wide    as the ring of a [G] bell

[G->C] small   as a wish in a [G] well
[D9]      and Sodom, South [Am7] Georgia
[G->C] woke      like a tree full of [G] bees
buried in christmas 
[G->C] bows    and a blanket of [G] weeds

[Em]    Papa died [G] Sunday and 
[C] I   [G] under[Am7]stood
[Em]    all dead [G] white boys

<--Chorus--

[D9]     Papa died [Am7] while my

[D9]     both heads [Am7] fell like 
[G->C] eyes      on a crack in the [G] door
[D9]     and Sodom, South [Am7] Georgia
[G->C] slept     on a acre of [G] bones
[D9]     slept through [Am7] Christmas
[G->C] slept     like a bucket of [G] snow
