when  I   die  won't  you  bury  me 
         C           G        D
in  the  town  where  I  was born   
G         D                      C       G
most  of  my  life  I've  been  rambling  free   
          C              D          G
when  I  die I  want  to come  back home 
 
G     D                 C   G
ever  since  I  was  a  baby  child    
    C         G        D
I  knew  was  born  to  roam   
G           D               C             G
I  had  to  climb  to  the  top  of  the  hill  
C                   G      D
just  to  see  what  lies  beyond 
G             D          C                G
now  seasons  change  but  I'm  still  the  same, 
C         G             D
I  don't  belong  to  anyone  
G          D         C          G
still  a  piece  of  me  will  always 
    C                 D        G
be  sitting  in  my  hometown  sun   
 
G         D                C     G
when  I   die  won't  you  bury  me 
         C           G        D
in  the  town  where  I  was born   
G         D                      C       G
most  of  my  life  I've  been  rambling  free   
          C              D          G
when  I  die I  want  to come  back home 
 
G        D   C         G
In  my  time  I  have  seen 
      C        G       D
ten  thousand  setting  suns 
G                D              C       G
and  I  made  my  bed  where  I  lay  my  head 
    C           G      D
and  it  never  hurt  anyone 
G              D           C             G
it could  be  said  that  someone  like  me  
        C                G        D
ain't  nothing  but  a  prodigal  son 
 G                D         C     G
and  just  like  that  prodigal  boy   
                  C             D         G
I'm  going  to  finish  off  where  I  begun
