The Strumbellas - Carry My Body

      [Intro]
G C G D


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


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


[Verse]
                   G
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 


              G
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                                 G
"Well I'm gonna leave in the same box you put me in." 


[Chorus]
                    G
She said "Carry my body" 
                C
"On down to the station" 
          G
"Bury me slowly" 
                    D
"Under my favourite tree" 


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