F A# Seen a man standin' over a dead dog F by the highway in a ditch F He's lookin' down kinda puzzled C pokin' that dog with a stick F Got his car door flung open A# F he's standin' out on Highway 31 A# F Like if he stood there long enough C F that dog'd get up and run F A# F Man it struck me kinda funny C F seem kinda funny sir to me F A# F How at the end of every hard earned C F day people find some reason to believe Now, Mary Lou loved Johnny With a love mean and true She said, "Baby, I'll work for you every day" And bring my money home to you One day, he up and left her And ever since that She waits down at the end of that dirt road For young Johnny to come back Struck me kinda funny Funny, yeah, indeed How at the end of every hard-earned day People find some reason to believe Take a baby to the river "Kyle William," they called him Wash the baby in the water Take away little Kyle's sin In a whitewashed shotgun shack An old man passes away Take the body to the graveyard Over him, they pray Lord, won't you tell us Tell us—what does it mean? At the end of every hard-earned day People find some reason to believe Congregation gathers Down by the riverside Preacher stands with a bible Groom stands waiting for his bride Congregation gone and the sun sets Behind a weeping willow tree Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on So effortlessly Wondering Where can his baby be Still, at the end of every hard-earned day People find some reason to believe You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
