key: G Tuning: E A D G B E
G C G    D
G C G D7 G

[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 
D7           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 Indian Rosewood 
                                C
And watched the trees sway back and forth through the wind 
               G
She said "It's my turn for irony," 
      D7                                      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" 
D7           G
  "Where I belong."
