Burn My Body Ukulele

(ver. 1)
William Elliott Whitmore
C                   F       C
Burn my body in the Northern Field
C                    F      C
Let the wind blow the ashes around
C                               F               C
And then you will know that my wounds have been healed
C                  F        C  
Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound

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

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

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

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

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

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