Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I hope I find a noble death and avoid an angry trigger

I guess I'll find my ripe old self or at least that's what I figure

The sour breath of a disappointed girl daring the man who could

keep her

She was born by the name of Lynn but she went by Honey Creeper.

Chorus

The bones of an old life call

 They tear at the threads of my innards

 Somewhere something went wrong

 Now I'm living with ghosts and with sinners

Progression Same As Verse 1:

It must have been 1929 when I took my turn to hold her

I felt a longing that I couldn't quit express and by fault I never told her

Chorus

The bones of an old life call

 They tear at the threads of my innards

 Somewhere something went wrong

 Now I'm living with ghosts and with sinners

Bridge

I'm an old man that's what I am like and old stump in the ground

You can't find a man who doesn't want to be found

I'm an old man that's what I am that's what I've come to know

I became a shadow when I let that woman go.

Progression Same As Verse 1:

When I raise my weary old eyes and prepare to meet my maker.

I'll find that love of mine, Mrs. Honey Creeper and I'll do my best to take her

The lord knows I will do my best to take her
