Bury Me Standing

G C Am D

G
The wind blew from the fenland
           D
'cross the big November sky
 G               C        G
wind chimes sang uncertainly
        D         G
all the camp was quiet
       Em
I look hard to the horizon
      C               G
maybe soon they would come
with their suits and their papers
   D
to move my people on
  G             C  G
I saw a skylark rising
D
from an empty field
G               C          G
another home we could have made
        D               G       D
another home we have to leave
    Em
I'm tired of their permissions
   C                  G
to use what should be free
tired of heavy voices
        D
telling me what I should be

D                 Em
if I fall bury me standing
                            C
if I fall won't you bury me deep?
I will not fade
           G
I will not sleep

G C Am D

    G                  C  G
the leaves of life are driven
     D
ever since this world began
        G                   C        G
and the leaves of life have blown me round
more than any woman can
             Em
what I can't bear to remember
                C        G
is what I can't bear to forget
    D
the road goes on forever
our time's not over yet

D                 Em
if I fall bury me standing
                            C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
           G
I will not sleep

D                 Em
if I fall bury me standing
                            C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
           G
I will not sleep
D                 Em
if I fall bury me standing
                            C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
           G
I will not sleep
