lyrics

How can it be autumn already so cold

How can it be autumn already so cold

How can it be autumn already so cold

Throw A shovel of dirt on this day 


She did not speak one word till she got up and sang

Till she got up and filled the whole church with her pain

For some fool  it was time for the church bell to ring 

Throw a shovel of dirt on this day on this day

Throw a shovel of dirt on this day


Be a heart bring that box of her letters 

Be a heart bring that box of her  letters  

Be heart bring that box of her  letters 

 another shovel of dirt on this day 


You glide through still water it’s ruined

New water washes water washes water away 

We  brought ruin on her when we brought her 

Ruined by the way she was raised 

she was Raised  

Ruined by the way she was raised


Paper would rather be fire 

Words would rather be flame 

Time circles down only  fire circles higher

Throw a shovel of dirt on this day 

on this day

Throw a shovel of dirt on this day


Maple leaves  look like life when they’re dying

In the Picture  looks like she’s been crying 

I’ll pour the last glass of whiskey here by the fire and 

Throw a shovel of dirt on this day 

On this day

 Throw a shovel of dirt on this day


Fingered in G (capo 2 so actually A) 

(G) C G D7 C G Cm Bm Em G D7 G (and in the

Verses with doubled last line its G D7 G C G D7 G).

In a few verses the Cm is Cmaj7. Song starts with G,

Other verses start on C.
