Cowboy Junkies – To Love Is To Bury (Guitar)

  G                      Am
I buried him down by the river

         C                     G
'Cause thats where he liked to be.

      G                  Am        
And every night when the moon is high

  C                    G
I go there and weep openly.

D             Am
He and I were married 

        C                        G 
By this river 'neath this willow tree

        Bm                 C 
And with God and friends witnessing it

G              C      G 
He pledged his life to me

G            Am          C          G
To me he was earth, I rooted in his soil.

  G          Am 
I to he was sky vast and free

       C                     G
Of the burdens from which he toiled.

D                  Am
Then one night a terrible fight

       C                   G  
Words spoken better left unsaid.

         Bm                         C       
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears

G           C       G
He gave his life to me.

G                      Am
They say to love is to bury

     C                        G
Those demons from which we all hide,

      D                               Am
But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree

         Bm     C          G    
Becoming one of earth and sky.
