E A E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E B7 E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E A E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E B7 E
Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound
E
Let the flames warm your hands
A E
Let the glow light your way
B7 E
These gifts to you I bestow
A E
And noones listenin don't bother to pray
B7 E
If you do lord I'll never know
E A E
Well up and up the smoke will roll
B7 E
Like a cloud of frightened crows
E A E
To Carry my not so immortal soul
B7 E A
Up between the rows
E B7 E
Up between the rows
E A E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E B7 E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E A E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E B7 E
Cause lord I'll be homeward bound
A E B7 E
Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
E A E
Some words that are said can cut like a saw
E B7 E
My ears nearly bled at the sound
A E
And I cant help prepare for the springtime thaw
B7 E
cause lord ill be homeward bound
E
And the frost turns to flowers
A E
and they all start to bloom
B7 E
and theres nothin left to hoe
A E
well tip one back and sing me a tune
B7 E A
And never let the fire grow cold
E B7 E
Never let the fire grow cold
E A E
Burn my body in the Northern Field
E B7 E
Let the wind blow the ashes around
E A E
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
E B7 E
Cause lord I'll be homeward bound
A E B7 E
Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
