 I'm Etired of B7coming home Esmelly E7M

 My eyes Ared, my throat Esore

 My young B7body too C♯m7worn out to

 And I'm Esorry for B7being so Ebad

to my dear old mother and dad

I threw some fits,

they put up with it

and now I owe them all that I am

Someday when my folks meet their end

if by chance I live longer than them

For the love that they gave

and the music we made

I'll be proud to have called them my friends

Picking: something like strings 4 2 3 2 1 2 3 2 (or 4 3 4 2 1 2 3 2

or 4 3 2 3 1 3 2 3 ?)

Hopefully someone who knows something about bluegrass can verify this or get the picking

more exact.
