The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird (Capo on the 7th fret) (C, Em, Bm, D for no capo)
F/F7 Em Am
When I was a babe I fell down in the holler.
F/F7 Em Am
When I was a girl I fell into your arms.
F/F7 G Am
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color.
F/F7 Em Am
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms.

F/F7 Em Am
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey.
F/F7 Em Am
You stole and you gambled and I said you should.
F/F7 G Am
We sang for our suppers, we drank up our money.
F/F7 Em Am
Then one day you left, saying I was no good.

F/F7 Am Em F/F7
Well, all right, I’m bad, but then, you’re no prize either.
F/F7 Am Em F/F7
All right, I’m bad, but then, that’s nothing new.
F/F7 G Am
You say you won’t love me, I won’t love you neither.
F/F7 G Am
Just let me remind you who I am to you.

F/F7 Em Am
’Cause I am the one who looks out when you’re leaping.
F/F7 Em Am
I am the one who knows how you were brave.
F/F7 G Am
And I am the one who heard what you said sleeping.
F/F7 Em Am
I’ll take that and more when I go to my grave.

F/F7 Am Em F/F7
It’s sooner than later that I’m six feet under.
F/F7 Am Em F/F7
It’s sooner than later that you’ll be alone.
F/F7 G Am
So who will you turn to tomorrow, I wonder?
F/F7 G Am
For when the bell rings, lover, you’re on your own.

F/F7 Em Am
And I am the one who you let see you weeping.
F/F7 Em Am
I know the soul that you struggle to save.
F/F7 G Am
Too bad I’m the bet that you lost in the reaping.
F/F7 Em Am
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?

The guitar I am playing is a harp guitar made by Timberline guitars and I am singing into a Heil Fin microphone (which they actually used in the movies!) & a Thalia Capo
