      Am    G                      F G   Am                   G 
I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously,

verse 1 
F                         Em F                F G 
Our tree was full and green, I had to leave it, 
   Am                        G 
the sadness was overwhelming, to be alone beneath it. 
    F                         Em F                F G 
The sun came down hot and hard, I could never sleep, 
  Am                         G 
To disappear was the only way I could find relief. 

 
           Am    G                      F G   Am                      G 
When I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and un-Sarah-moniously, 
   Am    G                      F G   Am                       G 
...Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly 

verse 2 
F                      Em F             F G 
First I paid my respects, to Glenn Gould, 
   Am                    G 
Then I visited the grave of Alexander Muir. 
F                  Em F                       F G 
Next to Eaton's tomb, I hung my head and cried, 
  Am                       G 
Looking for Joseph Mulgrew, I gave up and died. 
           Am 
When I was buried...

verse 3 
Am                  G                 Am                  G 
The birds sang, the flowers in bloom, spring had just begun. 
Am              G           Am        G 
Recently fitted for a suit, now lying in a box. 
   F             Am         G    Am               G 
By summer, I was gone, my remains stolen from the ground, 
Am      G              Am         G 
My body never recovered and I was never found, 
         Am  G Am G 
...Until now. 

Am    G 
Woooooo... 
Am    G 
Woooooo...

New life could begin, where the old path I ran came to and end.
