Cowboy Junkies - To love is to bury

I ^Gburied him down by the ^Amriver 'Cause th^Cats where he liked to ^Gbe. And ev^Gery night when the ^Ammoon is high I ^Cgo there and weep ope^Gnly.

^DHe and I were ^Ammarried By the r^Civer 'neath this willow ^Gtree And with^Bm God and friends wi^Amtnessing on ^AmHe pledged his ^Clife to^G me

^GTo me he was ^Amearth, I roo^Cted in his ^Gsoil. I ^Gto he was s^Amky vast and free Of the ^Cburdens from which he ^Gtoiled.

^DThen one night a te^Amrrible fight Words s^Cpoken better left un^Gsaid. With his^Bm wedding vows ringing in m^Amy ears He gave his ^Clife to ^Gme.

^GThey say to love is to ^Ambury Those^C demons from which we all^G hide, But to^Dnight by this river 'neath this ^Bmwillow tree Beco^Bmming one are ^Amearth and ^Gsky.
