Verse 1
(G major) I am (C major) old and (G major) I am weary
And I'm (F major) coming home (C major) to die (F major)
Would (C major) (G major) you bury (C major) me (G major) by
the old oak (F major) tree
between the (C major) river and (G major) the azure leaf? (F major)
(G major) Oh, Charleston, won't you bury (C major) me?
I'm the daughter of a merchant,
claimed the Seabrook (F major) line
Lost his (C major) spirit to the crash of 29 (F major)
I left my fam (C major) ily, bound for Europe,
on the (F major) idle line
Packed my (C major) things,
left my mo (A minor) m and dad behind (F major)
There the churches (G major) spot the skyline
In an (F major) endless dawn
And on (G major) Rainbow Row we'd
walk the waterfall (F major)
There he told (G major) me he would take me
But it (F major) could not be
So I (G major) left the man I loved in Charleston (F major)
I am (C major) old I am (G major) weary
And I'm (F major) coming home to die
Won't you bury (C major) me (G major) by
the old oak (F major) tree
Between the (C major) river and the (G major) ash tree (F major)
Oh, Char (A minor) leston,
won't you (G major) bury me (C major) (F major) (A minor) (G major) (C major) (F major)
(A minor) (G major)
Busted gal (C major) ley, sick dead soldiers
Found a (F major) navy man, wrote the queen
(C major) to have him stay his term with me (F major)
I love my hus (C major) band and my children,
but these my final (F major) days
I'm weary, (C major)
and (A minor) Charleston calls (F major) to me
Now I (G major) see his painted portions,
all the (F major) lazy news
Sipping (G major) tea until the evening came (F major)
And the grave (G major) yard where
my father lay his (F major) sovereign bones
I can't (G major) hear them now,
the church bells sing my (F major) name
I am (C major) old, I am (G major) weary
And I'm (F major) coming home to die
Would you bury (C major) me (G major) by
the old oak (F major) tree
Between the (C major) river and the (G major) ash tree (F major)
Oh Char (A minor) leston, won't you (G major) bury me (C major)
Oh, Tristan, (A minor) won't you (G major) bury me?
(F major)
