Gravedigger Acoustic

alright , i saw that the tab that’s highest rated wasn’t exactly right but pretty close .
watched the aol sessions video for the song and got the exact chords from what dave plays .

chords :
Am – xx2210
Am7 – 3×2210
F – 133211
G – 320033
Dm – xx0231
A#5 – x133
xxe – 022100
D – 2×032
xalright , now here’s the song .

the intro starts out with dave playing an Am and hammering on the C in the Am chord . it
like this :

E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – 0h1 – 1 – – 1 – – – – – – – – – – |
G – – – 2 – – – 2 – – 2 – – – – – – – – – – |
D – – – 2 – – – 2 – – 2 – – – – – – – – – – |
A – 0 – – – – – – 0 – 0 – – – – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

and then it goes :

Am Am7 F x 2

you should be able to hear when he switches between Am and Am because he hits the low G
note when he switches between them .

the song goes like this :

intro

then

Am Am7
cyrus jones 1810 to 1913

F Am
made his great – grandchildren believe they could live to 103

Am Am7
103 is forever when you’re just a little kid

F Am
so cyrus jones lived forever

chorus :

Am Am7
gravedigger , when you dig my grave

E
could you make it shallow ,

Am Am7 D Am
so that i can feel the rain oh , gravedigger

verse 2 :

same chord progression . then the chorus , and then the bridge .

bridge :

Dm F C G A#5
ring around the rosie ,

Dm F C G A#5
pocket full of posies ,

Dm F C G A#5
ashes to ashes ,

Dm F C G
we all fall down ,

then back to chorus , and then a verse , then another chorus . then the outro , which is
dave going through the intro but the chord changes are a little faster and there’s an E at
end , so it’s :

Am Am7 F E

it goes :

intro
verse
chorus

bridge
