G C Am D
[Verse]
G
The wind blew from the fenland
D
'cross the big November sky
G C G
wind chimes sang uncertainly
D G
all the camp was quiet
Em
I look hard to the horizon
C G
maybe soon they would come
with their suits and their papers
D
to move my people on
G C G
I saw a skylark rising
D
from an empty field
G C G
another home we could have made
D G D
another home we have to leave
Em
I'm tired of their permissions
C G
to use what should be free
tired of heavy voices
D
telling me what I should be
[Chorus]
D Em
if I fall bury me standing
C
if I fall won't you bury me deep?
I will not fade
G
I will not sleep
[Instrumental]
G C Am D
[Verse]
G C G
the leaves of life are driven
D
ever since this world began
G C G
and the leaves of life have blown me round
more than any woman can
Em
what I can't bear to remember
C G
is what I can't bear to forget
D
the road goes on forever
our time's not over yet
[Chorus]
D Em
if I fall bury me standing
C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
G
I will not sleep
[Instrumental]
G C Am D
[Chorus]
D Em
if I fall bury me standing
C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
G
I will not sleep
D Em
if I fall bury me standing
C
if I fall won’t you bury me deep?
I will not fade
G
I will not sleep
