Bury Me

A   D   E7   A


A        D
Bury me along the Big Sandy,
A                        E7
Down in those blue gray mountains.
A                     D
Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
  A            E          A
Until this old earth does tremble.
          D                    A
Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free,
   D                E
No woman, don't you cry.
         A        D
You just bury me along the Big Sandy,
A       E7            A
Under a blue Kentucky sky.



A                          D
This old town of sin, its about to do me in,
        A                   E7
I don't know how much I can stand.
        A                          D
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet,
    A         E                A
I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand.




A            D
So bury me along the Big Sandy,
A                        E7
Down in those blue, gray mountains.
A                     D
Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
  A            E          A
Until this old earth does tremble.
          D                    A
Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free,
   D                E
No woman, don't you cry.
         A        D
You just bury me along the Big Sandy,
A       E             A
Under a blue Kentucky sky.

A                               D
When I came to this land, I was strong and I could stand,
        A                      E
Oh, but now I've somehow gone astray.
      A                          D
Yet I still see the truth in the teaching of my youth,
      A             E                  A
And I know that the Lord ain't turned away.



A        D
Bury me along the Big Sandy,

A                     D
Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
  A            E          A
Until this old earth does tremble.
          D                    A
Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free,

No woman, don't you cry.
