Underneath The Ground

Intro: Bm Bm D G

Bm
That's enough, my man, it's time to clap our hands.
A
Call the papers up tomorrow, say we did the best we can.
D
Cause our doctor's in the hospital, the poet just laid down.
G
There's one good man I know, and he can't talk right now.

Bm                          Em                 G                         A
I'd like to hear what you'd say to me if I was bulletproof and free again.
Bm                          Em                             G                   A
Or what you'd shout if I was dead in the ground, and buried under another name?

Bm
Or would you talk about if I loved her now?
D
Tell my sins to God out loud.
G                                    A
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?
Bm
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name,
D
And embarrass me to the other graves?
G                                A
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground?

Bm Bm D G

Bm
Now who you think I am? Worse than all the rest?
A
That's what I'll be now, just like no one said.
D
Did anybody see that? There's a crack right down my head.
G
But mama, how they'll cheer for us, while the blood drips down our legs.

Bm                            Em                                G                         A
I'd like to know if you could see through the soul like I could see to your soul back then.
Bm                                   Em                           G                         
And reach your hands through all the hurt and defenses, would you still try if you knew I 
      A
was gone?

Bm
Or would you talk about if I loved her now?
D
Tell my sins to God out loud.
G                                    A
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?
Bm
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name,
D
And embarrass me to the other graves?
G                                 A
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground?
Underneath the ground?
