[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Bb         Bbmaj7sus2
  It's Decoration Day
Gm Bb               Bbmaj7sus2             Gm
     And I've a mind        to roll a stone  on his grave
Bb               Bbmaj7sus2
  But what would he      say
Fm D#               D#          Fm
   "Keeping me down,   boy, won't keep you away"
Bb         Bbmaj7sus2
  It's Decoration Day
Gm    Bb             Bbmaj7sus2         Gm
  And I knew the Hill        Boys would put him away
      Bb      Bbmaj7sus2
But my  Daddy wasn't afraid
Fm              D#                 D#        Fm
  He said "We'd fight till the last   Lawson's last living day"

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Bb          Bbmaj7sus2     Gm
I never knew        how it all got started
  Bb             Bbmaj7sus2 Gm
A problem with a Holland before we were born
      Bb                 Bbmaj7sus2         Gm
And I don't know the name        of that boy  we tied down
        D#           D#          Fm
And beat 'til he just   couldn't walk anymore
     Bb         Bbmaj7sus2 Gm
But I  know the caliber in daddy's chest
  Bb        Bbmaj7sus2   Gm
I know what Holland Hill drives
    Bb               Bbmaj7sus2       Gm
The state let him go,        but I guess it was best
         D#   D#         Fm
'Cause nobody needs all us Lawson's alive
D# | D# | Fm

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Bb         Bbmaj7sus2         Gm
Daddy said one     of the boys  had come by
       Bb        Bbmaj7sus2 Gm
The lumber man's favorite son
        Bb                  Bbmaj7sus2          Gm
He said "Beat him real good,        but don't dare let him die
          D#     D#      Fm
And if you see Holland Hill  run"
     Bb            Bbmaj7sus2    Gm
Now I  said, "They ain't give us trouble before
       Bb                  Bbmaj7sus2    Gm
That we  ain't brought down        on ourselves"
           Bb      Bbmaj7sus2     Gm
But a chain  on my back    and my ear to the floor
         D#               D#           Fm
And I'll send all the Hill   Boys to hell
     D#               D#   Fm
I'll send all the Hill   Boys  to hell yeah...

Bb         Bbmaj7sus2
  It's Decoration Day
Gm    Bb           Bbmaj7sus2 Gm
  And I've got a family in Mobile Bay
            Bb           Bbmaj7sus2     Gm
And they've never seen my        daddy's  grave
              D#         D#           Fm
But that don't bother me,   it ain't marked anyway
        Bb         Bbmaj7sus2    Gm
'Cause I  got dead brothers in Lauderdale South
     Bb         Bbmaj7sus2      Gm
And I  got dead brothers in the East Tennessee
       Bb            Bbmaj7sus2          Gm
And my Daddy got shot        right in front of his house
         D#          D#      Fm
He had no one to fall   on but me

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Bb         Bbmaj7sus2
  It's Decoration Day
Gm Bb               Bbmaj7sus2    Gm
     And I've a mind        to go spit on his grave
    Bb           Bbmaj7sus2             Gm
If I  was a Hill,        I'd have to put  him away
        D#                 D#        Fm
And I'd fight 'til the last   Lawson's last living day
    D#             D#          Fm
I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last living day
    D#                 D#        Fm
I'd fight 'til the last   Lawson's last living day.
