Work Song chords by Hozier

Intro: A#  Cm (x8)

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

Gm      F
  When, my, time comes around
A#                 Cm
  Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm        F
  No grave can hold my body down
A#
  I'll crawl home to her

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

Gm      F
  When, my, time comes around
A#                 Cm
  Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm        F
  No grave can hold my body down
A#
  I'll crawl home to her        (Repeat chorus)


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


Gm      F
  When, my, time comes around
A#                 Cm
  Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm        F
  No grave can hold my body down
A#
  I'll crawl home to her       (Repeat chorus)
