The thing you have to remember about this song is that Dave improvs a lot so nothing
written down is going to be completely right. At the beginning, he hammers from Amadd9
to Am (|-02200| to |-02210|) and does so throughout the entire song. Listen to whole
song to figure out when else. The chord placement is going to be a little strange, but
I tried to copy where the chords actually change (or are emphasized). And sometimes,
an E7 sounds better, but it's up to you.

Intro:
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great-grandchildren believe you could live to a hundred and three
a hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
so Cyrus Jones lived forever
Chorus:
Gravedigger
when you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
so that I could feel the rain
Gravedigger
Myrial Stonewall 1903 to 1954
lost both of her babies in the second great war
now you should never have to watch
as your only children are lowered in the ground
you should have to bury your own babies
*Chorus*
Ring around the rosey
Pocket full of posey
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
*Chorus*
Little Mickey Carson '67 to '75
He rode his bike like the devil until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertical on the flying trapeez
1940 to 1992
*Chorus* 2X
Ending:
Am G F (let ring)
