"Don't Bury Me Here" INSTR. C Am C G Am G C C Am Oh, bury me not in this deserted land C G It sounded so frail from this pale young man Am Who in the cold, cold north was waiting for his death G C And to us aboard he uttered his distress C Am No sun will ever shine on my grave C G if it's on the bottom of a coal black wave Am No, bury me in Christian earth, G C next to mum and dad in my town of birth C Am It matters not, I have heard them say, C G where they put you down when we go away Am But take all I own And share my pay G C But please do hear my last prayer C Am Bury me not here became the last he said C G But we couldn't do as the boy asked to Am In a simple grave Only made of stones G C In frozen earth we dug down his bones INSTR. C Am C G Am G C C Am I can never forget this fine young man C G I do the sign of the cross each time I see that land, Am where we buried the boy in 1903 G C At last it was me who told the family Don't bury me here
