Burn My Body by William Elliott Whitmore

E                   A       E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E                    A      E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E                               A               E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E                  A        E  
Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound

E
Let the flames warm your hands
         A              E
Let the glow light your way
               A        E
These gifts to you I bestow
                          A         E
And noones listenin don't bother to pray
               A          E
If you do lord I'll never know

E                  A          E
Well up and up the smoke will roll
                 A          E
Like a cloud of frightened crows
E                  A        E
To Carry my not so immortal soul
     A         E     A
Up between the rows
E    A         E
Up between the rows

E                   A        E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E                     A     E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E                              A                E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E                  A        E
Cause lord I'll be homeward bound
A  E               A     E
Oh lord I'll be homeward bound

E                            A          E
Some words that are said can cut like a saw
E              A           E
My ears nearly bled at the sound
                                A          E
And I cant help prepare for the springtime thaw
                  A        E
cause lord ill be homeward bound

E
And the frost turns to flowers
         A            E
and they all start to bloom
                  A       E
and theres nothin left to hoe
                      A         E
well tip one back and sing me a tune
                  A         E      A
And never let the fire grow cold
E             A         E
Never let the fire grow cold

E                   A        E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E                     A     E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E                              A                E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E                  A        E
Cause lord I'll be homeward bound
A  E               A     E
Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
