[VERSE 1]

A
I am not afraid when you call me down
                        E          A
Down the basement steps under the house

[DF RAIN]

 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 2]

  A
Black cows are limping, the white dogs bark
                          E           A
Crickets are screaming, smoke in the barn
 A
Just like a field snake eating a mouse
                      E                   A
Just like a bluegill hooked through its mouth

[DF RAIN]

 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 3]

 A
Cry for the toy trains lost in the snow
                           E          A
Cry for the dead deer surrounded by crows
 A
You call me softly down in the dark
                          E            A
Down where the red worms circle like sharks

[DF RAIN]

 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground

[VERSE 4]

A        
Under the black mud in your quiet house 
                       E           A
you have prepared my place to lie down
    A
A house in the rock where sorrows drown
                 E             A
Old man or baby make no more sound

[DF RAIN]

 A          E       A
Down, down in the ground
