Tomb Of The Unknown Love

C

One time I drove to see a girl across the country

G7

C

One night as I was driving through New Mexico

G7

C

And I laid her letter on the radio

G7

C

At a diner to refill for the ride

G7

C

I turned my collar up and went inside

G7

C

They´d give her pats and she´d give them shoves

G7

C

It´s the tomb of the unknown love

F

C

And then they pointed out the window to this stone

F

C

All by itself beneath the tree beside the hill

F

C

And on that winter night I read these words alone

G7

These words that are haunting me still it said

C

Here lies a young man struck down in his prime

G7

C

By the awesome burning power of love

G7

C

They hung him from that tree up above

G7

I know that local folks say it´s the wind

C

I know it´s crying from the tomb of the unknown love

G7

C

I did the job my heart commanded of me

G7

C

They counted ten I came out at three

G7

C

How I´m gonna pay the state for what I´ve done

G7

C

They won´t have to drag me cause it´s said and done

F

C

And maybe someday they can put me up a stone

F

C

All by itself beneath the tree beside the hill

F

C

And lovers everywhere can come and read along

G7

These words that will give them a chill and it´ll say
