Bury me with soldiers
By: Michael Oneal
Intro: E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm x2
E minorEm G+G
I've played a lot of roles in my life, I've met a lot of men
D MajorD E minorEm
And I've done a lot of things that I'd like to think I'd never do again
E minorEm G+G
And though I'm young, I'm old enough To know someday I'll die
D MajorD E minorEm
And I wonder, what lies ahead and beside whom that I might lie
E minorEm G+G
I know it don't matter much, but still if I had my choice
D MajorD E minorEm
I'd want a grave 'mongst Soldiers when At last death quells my voice
E minorEm G+G
And I'm sick of the hypocrisy Of lectures of the wise
D MajorD E minorEm
And I'll take that man, with all them flaws, Who goes so scared to die
E minorEm G+G
And the soldiers, who were commonplace. That did not want this war
D MajorD E minorEm
But they fought because their fathers, and their fathers fought before
E minorEm G+G
And they marched and killed and wept, and God knows they're easy to deride
D MajorD E minorEm
Yeah but bury me with men like these, who faced those guns and died
E minorEm G+G
And it's funny when you think of it, of the way we got along
D MajorD E minorEm
We came from different worlds to live, in one where no one belongs
E minorEm G+G
And I didn't even like 'em all. and I'm sure that they'd would agree
D MajorD E minorEm
But I would give my life for them boys cause I know some that did for me
E minorEm G+G
Yeah, bury me with soldiers, much mangled they may be
D MajorD E minorEm
Bury me with my brothers man, cause I miss their company
E minorEm G+G
Bury me with soldiers, much mangled they may be
D MajorD E minorEm
Bury me with my brothers man, cause I miss their company
E minorEm G+G
And I will not see their likes again, cause we've a had our share of war
D MajorD E minorEm
So bury me with men like these, until somebody else does something more
