Bury me with soldiers
By: Michael Oneal


Intro: Em G D Em x2

Em                                     G
I've played a lot of roles in my life, I've met a lot of men
    D                                          Em
And I've done a lot of things that I'd like to think I'd never do again
    Em                         G
And though I'm young, I'm old enough To know someday I'll die
    D                               Em
And I wonder, what lies ahead and beside whom that I might lie

Em                               G
I know it don't matter much, but still if I had my choice
D                                         Em
I'd want a grave 'mongst Soldiers when At last death quells my voice
   Em                         G
And I'm sick of the hypocrisy Of lectures of the wise
    D                                        Em
And I'll take that man, with all them flaws, Who goes so scared to die


    Em                                  G
And the soldiers, who were commonplace. That did not want this war
    D                                      Em
But they fought because their fathers, and their fathers fought before
    Em                                                      G
And they marched and killed and wept, and God knows they're easy to deride
     D                                    Em
Yeah but bury me with men like these, who faced those guns and died


    Em                                      G
And it's funny when you think of it, of the way we got along
D                                         Em
We came from different worlds to live, in one where no one belongs
    Em                                       G
And I didn't even like 'em all. and I'm sure that they'd would agree
D                                              Em
But I would give my life for them boys cause I know some that did for me


      Em                          G
Yeah, bury me with soldiers, much mangled they may be
D                                     Em
Bury me with my brothers man, cause I miss their company


Em                          G
Bury me with soldiers, much mangled they may be
D                                     Em
Bury me with my brothers man, cause I miss their company


    Em                                              G
And I will not see their likes again, cause we've a had our share of war
   D                                           Em
So bury me with men like these, until somebody else does something more
