 Subject: Bluegrass Widow by Robert Earl Keen
 THE BLUEGRASS WIDOW
 [G]It's been five years come this autumn, She remembers well the day         Robert Earl Keen
 The [F]day the fever got him and [C]took him far a[G]way
 Far away from always knowin' that the love they shared was true
 Far a[F]way the fiddlers bowin' "[C]Grass River [G]Blues"
 
 It was in the dead of winter when her man first caught the chill
 It was [F]said he heard the angels singin' "[C]Cabin On the [G]Hill"
 
 Through the springtime he was groanin' "maybe time to pass and go"
 By the [F]summer she was moanin' Good Old [C]Lover please come [G]home
 
 {start_of_chorus}
 Now she [C]stands out in the midnight in the [G]moonlight all aglow
 She [C]prays to Carter Stanley, won't you [G]please tell Bill Monroe
 I'd rather [C]be in some dark hollow or some [G]dark, deep shady grove
 Than to [F]be a Bluegrass widow, [C]oh, oh [G]oh
 {end_of_chorus}
 
 INSTRUMENTAL
 
 [G]Will you miss me when I'm gone were his final words to her
 Darlin' [F]think of what you've been to me re[C]plied his Knoxville [G]girl
 
 And the leaves had started turnin when his mind began to fail
 Then he [F]broke down in a breakdown now she [C]wears a long black [G]veil
 
 Chorus, Twice through to end
