        Em 
Carry my body  
                C 
On down to the station  
        G 
Bury me slowly 
                   D 
Under my favourite tree  


                    Em 
Don't take me to the graveyard  
                       C 
Or the churches by the faint stars  
        G 
Bury me slowly  
          D 
Where I belong.  


Verse 
                   Em 
She went to see the woodsman  
                          C 
Well she's been down that road once before  
                    G 
Well this is it for certain, this is it for certain  
                D 
This time her heart ain't going through that door  


              Em 
She bought …. rosewood  
                                   C 
And watched the trees sway back and forth through the wind  
                  G 
She said "It's my turn for irony,"  
                                D 
"Well I'm gonna leave in the same box you put me in."
