To Love Is To Bury Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I buried him down by the r[Am]iver
[C]'Cause that's where he liked [G]to be
And every night when the
[Am]moon is [C]high
I go there and weep [G]openly

[Verse 2]
[D]
He and I were [Am]mar ried
By [C]this river 'neath this willow [G]tree
[Bm]And with God and friends
[Am]witnessing [C]it
He pledged his life [G]to me

[Verse 3]
To [G]me he was [Am]earth
[C]And I rooted in his soi[G]l
I to he was [Am]sky vast and free
Of the [C]burdens from [D]which [G]he toiled

[Verse 4]
[D]Then one night a ter[Am]rible fight
[C]Words spoken better left un[G]said
[Am]With his [D]wedding vows ringing [Am]in my ears
[C]He gave his life to me[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][G][D][Am][C][G]
[D][Am][C][G]

[Verse 5]
They [G]say to love is to [Am]bury
Those [C]demons from which
[Dm]we all hide[G]
But to[D]night by this river
'neath this [Am]willow tree
Becoming [Bm]one of [Am]earth and sky
