Biography:
"The Statesboro Revue is in the process of re-defining rock and roll, refusing to let blues and country, the real roots of rock music, fall by the wayside.

[Intro]
A A D A
[Verse 1]
A
When they lay me in the ground
D A
Don't let the memories bring you down
A
Just raise your head, and raise a round
D A
I'll be in heaven, wearing my crown
A A D A
[D harp]
A
In my heart I've known it all
D A
This rambling poet has flown and crawled
A
But most of all its love I've found
D A
and I'll take it with me wherever I'm bound
E A
I'll take it with me, wearing my crown
[Chorus]
A
When they lay me in the ground
D A
Don't let the memories bring you down
A
Just raise your head and raise a round
D A
I'll be in heaven wearing my crown
A A D A
[D harp]
[Verse 2]
A
There is a ride you'll go along
D A
Don't be afraid, it takes you home
A
Up to a place up in the clouds
D A
Where poets ramble and the lost are found
E A
That's where I'm going wearing my crown
E A
Yea Ill be waiting wearing my crown
[Chorus]
A
When they lay me in the ground
D A
Don't let the memories bring you down
A
Just raise your head and raise a round
D A
I'll be in heaven wearing my crown
E D A
I'll be in heaven wearing my crow----ah-----own
