Capo 3

Intro: [G] [D] [Cadd9]

[G]Gran Gran [D]keeps a box of [Cadd9]spiders
[G]She says they're [D]on me when I [Cadd9]sleep
[G]Waiting [D]in the out-house [Cadd9]for me
[G] [D]underneath the [Cadd9]seat

[G] [D] [Cadd9]

[G]My great-grand[D]mothers bout ninety-[Cadd9]seven
[G]and she is sure [D]when she gets to [Cadd9]heaven
[G]old St. Peter's [D]gonna throw his arms [Cadd9]around her and say
[G]"I've waited so [D]long for us to [Cadd9]meet"

[Cadd9]She put the General in a bo[Asus2]x
and buried him [Cadd9]behind the Stoney Point Church of [Asus2]Christ
when I was three [G]

(and she says) [G]"When the lord comes [D]to take me
I'[Cadd9]ll die with a smile on, [G]cause He's taking [D]all my pains and [Cadd9]fears."

[Cadd9]She said The Generals last [Asus2]words were
"It's [Cadd9]hotter than hell in [Asus2]here"

[G]Gran Gran [D]keeps a box of [Cadd9]spiders
[G]or so she [D]told me as a [Cadd9]child
[G]and I would [D]hold it in for [Cadd9]hours
[G] [D]Too mean to [Cadd9]die
[G] [D]Too mean to [Cadd9]die, too mean...
