[Verse 1]
C C/G C C/G
I've been sheltered all of my days
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7
But you opened up the door
C Em/B Am Fmaj7
I was a young man stepping into my life
[Pre-Chorus]
C C7 F
Stepping out of school
D7/F# G
Across the graveyard gates
E7/G# Am Am/G
An educated fool
[Chorus]
F C
Oh Willie I could read and write
G7 C C7 F
But your eyes, read the winds and tides
C
Willie my sage my friend
G7 Am
I gained a thousand tales
[Post-Chorus]
Em
Of Life
Fmaj7
Of mice
G
And men
[Verse 2]
C C/G C C/G
Fumble fingered rolling my own
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I learned the graveyard ways
C Em/B Am Fmaj7
A friend a stranger it didn't change us
[Pre-Chorus]
C C7 F
We took a heavy spade
D7/F# G
And laid the soul to rest
E7/G# Am Am/G
And kept a graveyard face
[Chorus]
F C
Oh Willie you always said
G7 C C7 F
A needless tear, falls on nature's head
C
Willie your helping hand
G7 C
Helped to make the man
[Harmonica solo]

Willie your words and ways

Will cross the graveyard gates
