**CAPO ON 5**
VERSE:
C                      G            C
I wrote a song for the ones that I remember
  C          G             F             C
A memory's lament, all the lovers I have met
     C                           G             C
Well I wrote a song for the the ones that I forget
               F           C           E             Am
And take these dreams from me, I don't need an easy way, now...
              F          Am    E
They're just dragging my body around.
CHORUS:
        F         C
Well I, buried my Brother, I
F            C
   Buried my lover, I
F            C           G
   Buried my head in my hands.
             F           C
And you said,  all of my burdens are
F              C
   Too much to bear, and your
F                   C
Fingers through my hair
  G                           G
I wanted you to stay with me.
VERSE:
C                 F           C
You come from the forest I bet.
     C                 F      C
With hair as long as a sunset
C                 F           C
You come from the forest I bet.
       C                 F         C
With a soul as good as a hunter's guess.
          F              C
And I was, younger than you
           E                    Am
Well I saw through these wicked ways.
F                    C           E
  Another bill that time will...    pay
CHORUS:
     F          C
Oh I, buried my Brother, I
F            C
   Buried my lover, I
F            C           G
   Buried my head in my hands.
             F           C
And you said,  all of my burdens are
F              C
   Too much to bear, and your
F                   C
Fingers through my hair
  G
I wanted you to stay with me.
G
Who knew you'd be leaving me for...
F         C
Buried my Brother, I
F            C
   Buried my lover, I
F            C           G
   Buried my head in my hands.
             F           C
And you said,  all of my burdens are
F              C
   Too much to bear, and your
F                   C
Fingers through my hair
  G
I wanted you to stay with me.
G                                 Am
Who knew you'd be leaving me for dead.
