Bury Me Far From My Uniform

Capo 2 

D 

      D        
I was falling dead in battle 

D              G                         D 
Must have been Tuesday, I don't know the date 

       Bm                  G 
I gave everything everyone asked for 

   G                       D 
But I'll say where I'll be laid 

D7                  G  
The many dead of my comrades 

G                         D 
All look the same in this place 

          D                G      D 
Won't you bury me far from my uniform 

   D            A        D 
So God might remember my face 


Bridge:  

     D                G      D 
Just bury me far from my uniform 

         G                  D 
From the iron cross medal I would've worn 

         G                        D 
From the statues that sisters and widows mourn 

         G                      D 
From the newspaper clippings in micro-form 

        G                   D 
From Geneva, the Hague, and Nuremberg 

         D                           G 
From the sex of this world that I'll no longer taste 

          D                       G 
Won't you bury me far from my uniform 

   D            A        D 
So God might remember my face
