Johnny Cash - Bury Me Not

  





(verse 1)
      A
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow, 
                               E
I loved creation better as it stood,

That day you finished it so long ago,
                                         A    
And looked upon your work and called it good.



(verse 2)
       A
I know that others find you in the light,
                                        E
That sifted down through tinted window panes,
 
And yet I seem to feel you near tonight
                                     A
In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.

 

(verse 3)
     A
I thank you, Lord, that I'm placed so well,
                                 E
That you've made my freedom so complete,

That I'm no slave to whistle, clock or bell,
                                 A  
Nor weak eyed prisoner of Wall Street.



(verse 4)
         A
Just let me live my life as I've begun,
                                     E
And give me work that's open to the sky,
 
Make me a partner of the wind and sun,
                                      A
And I won't ask a life that's soft or high.



(verse 5)
        A
Let me be easy on the man that's down,
                                   E
Let me be square and generous with all,

I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when I'm in town,
                                   A
But never let ‘em say I'm mean or small.
