INTRO: 

G5  A5  C5   G5  2x Then 
D5  A5  C5   G5 B5  C5 G5 C5 G5


  G5                      A5
I buried him down by the river
         C5                     G5
'Cause thats where he liked to be.
      G5                  A5        
And every night when the moon is high
  C5                    G5
I go there and weep openly.

D5             A5
He and I were married 
        C5                       G5 
By the river 'neath this willow tree
        B5                 A5 
And with God and friends witnessing on
A5             C5      G5 
He pledged his life to me

G5            A5          C5          G5
To me he was earth, I rooted in his soil.
  G5          A5 
I to he was sky vast and free
       C5                     G5
Of the burdens from which he toiled.

D5                  A5
Then one night a terrible fight
       C5                   G5  
Words spoken better left unsaid.
        B5                        A5         
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
            C5       G5
He gave his life to me.

BREAK: G5  A5  C5   G5  2x  D5  A5  C5   G5 B5  C5 G5 C5 G5

G5                      A5
They say to love is to bury
     C5                        G5
Those demons from which we all hide,
      D5                               B5
But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree
    B5           A5        G5    
Becoming one are earth and sky.
