Do You Wanna Be Buried With My People chords by Will Oldham

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm      G+G    A minorAm            G+G
Sometimes I'm tossed & driven
A minorAm      G+G          A minorAm      G+G
& sometimes I don't know where to roam
A minorAm         G+G      A minorAm       G+G
but I've heard of a city called Heaven
A minorAm        G+G     A minorAm         G+G
& I've started to make it my home
A minorAm      G+G     A minorAm            G+G
Oh soon I'll reach the glory
A minorAm        G+G     A minorAm         G+G
where mortals no longer complain
A minorAm           G+G     A minorAm      G+G
& there's a ship that's coming to take me
A minorAm        G+G     A minorAm         G+G
& the captain is calling my name

    A augmentedA
Do you wanna be buried with my people, dear
    D MajorD      A augmentedA
was the look in his eyes
A augmentedA
We can rest our bones side by side
    D MajorD       A augmentedA
in the dirt of yonder high

A augmentedA               D MajorD      A augmentedA
& it's so fun to see me being me alongside you
A augmentedA
& that's how I knew the answer dear
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
to the look I got from you

A augmentedA               D MajorD      A augmentedA
I'd nearly given up dear with all my fantasies
A augmentedA                  D MajorD     A augmentedA
& then you come & crossed my path, & so here we be
A augmentedA                    D MajorD       A augmentedA
& how the hell did I live this long without you by my side
A augmentedA                  D MajorD       A augmentedA
Can I believe it's you I've sensed & sung to all my life
A augmentedA                    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Arms that held me never worked before until I was held by you
A augmentedA                  D MajorD      A augmentedA
with a grip so still & charged, oh, coo coo coo coo

A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA
& finally it came around inviting us to play
A augmentedA
There's nothing as scary as a divine plan
A augmentedA   D MajorD             A augmentedA
but I wouldn't have it any other way

A augmentedA
The mystery is larger than you & me
A augmentedA    D MajorD       A augmentedA
& we're drunk on faded heart
A augmentedA
but woman, I have a suspicion
A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA
you just could be my missing part

A augmentedA
but who the hell knows which way
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
the gods will pull us tomorrow
A augmentedA
but honey we're writing our past right now
 D MajorD            A augmentedA
& fear's only gonna beckon sorrow

A augmentedA
Giddy up love whatever is for you
A augmentedA   D MajorD       A augmentedA
won't ever pass you by
A augmentedA
You live & die in you
A augmentedA
& I live & die in me
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
each day for the rest of this life

A augmentedA
'Cause I am a prince
A augmentedA
& I A minorAm A augmentedA prince
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
for I am my own salvation
A augmentedA
but you're my queen
A augmentedA
& you're my king
A augmentedA     D MajorD        A augmentedA
so live & die beside each other

A augmentedA
Do you want to be buried with my people, dear
    D MajorD      A augmentedA
was the look in your eyes
A augmentedA
We can rest our bones side by side
A augmentedA   D MajorD       A augmentedA
in the dirt of yonder high

A augmentedA               D MajorD      A augmentedA
& it's so fun to see me being me alongside you
A augmentedA
That's how I knew the answer dear
A augmentedA   D MajorD        A augmentedA
to the look I got from you
