E A E Burn my body in the Northern Field E A E Let the wind blow the ashes around E A E And then you will know that my wounds have been healed E A E Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound E Let the flames warm your hands A E Let the glow light your way A E These gifts to you I bestow A E And noones listenin don't bother to pray A E If you do lord I'll never know E A E Well up and up the smoke will roll A E Like a cloud of frightened crows E A E To Carry my not so immortal soul A E A Up between the rows E A E Up between the rows E A E Burn my body in the Northern Field E A E Let the wind blow the ashes around E A E And then you will know that my wounds have been healed E A E Cause lord I'll be homeward bound A E A E Oh lord I'll be homeward bound E A E Some words that are said can cut like a saw E A E My ears nearly bled at the sound A E And I cant help prepare for the springtime thaw A E cause lord ill be homeward bound E And the frost turns to flowers A E and they all start to bloom A E and theres nothin left to hoe A E well tip one back and sing me a tune A E A And never let the fire grow cold E A E Never let the fire grow cold E A E Burn my body in the Northern Field E A E Let the wind blow the ashes around E A E And then you will know that my wounds have been healed E A E Cause lord I'll be homeward bound A E A E Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
