Verse
B5       D           Em 
 Lay my body down on Mercy Street 
B5          D              Em 
Or deep beneath the darkest seas 
B5      D            Em 
Lay my body six feet under down in Old Noarlunga 
B5        D                 Em 
Right beneath the ghost gum trees 
 
Pre-Chorus
A                    G    
 Doesn't matter where 
A                       G  Em 
  You won't find me there 
 
Chorus
B5    D        G                       A 
No grave Gonna hold my spirit down 
B5              D                      G  Em D 
Ain't no grave Hold my spirit down 
B5     D                G                             A 
Lord knows they'll never keep me in the ground 
      B5         D            G                       A 
Ain't no grave Hold my spirit down 
 
Verse
B5           D         Em 
It's alright mama, now don't be sad 
B5          D              Em 
It's alright, don't cry for me 
B5         D               Em 
They can lock my flesh and bones up until kingdom come 
B5         D          Em 
But my spirit will be free

Bridge
A                              A       C5  
It's a dead end search It's a nowhere thread 
D                           C5       A 
Looking for the living down among the dead 
A                         C5  
No devil in hell No angel above 
D                             C5        A 
Can separate the saints from the love of God
