[Intro]

[Verse]
Oh the rain is slowly fallin',
 C G
And my heart is so sore.
 C G
Six more miles and I leave my darlin',
 D G
Never on this earth to meet no more.

[Chorus]
 C G
Six more miles to the graveyard,
 D
Six more miles, long and sad.
 G C G
Six more miles and I leave my darlin',
 C G
Leave the best friend I ever had.

[Instrumental]

[Verse] 
Oh I hear the train a-comin',
 C G
Bringing my darlin' back home.
 C G
Six more miles to the graveyard,
 D G
And I'll be left here all alone.

[Chorus]
 C G
Six more miles to the graveyard,
 D
Six more miles, long and sad.
 G C G
Six more miles and I leave my darlin',
 C G
Leave the best friend I ever had.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
 C G
Six more miles to the graveyard,
 D
Six more miles, long and sad.
 G C G
Six more miles and I leave my darlin',

Leave the best friend I ever had.
