One Dyin And A Buryin Chords & Lyrics - Roger Miller

Capo II

(First verse/chorus: key of E)

INTRO: [D]

(Spoken)
[D]Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
It's so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet
It's foolproof - well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here I am walking toward where the cold dark water flows
Causes all it takes is

[CHORUS 1]
One dying and a [G]buryin'
[A]One dying and a b[D]uryin'
[G] [Bm] -[Am]
Some crying, six carrying me
I wanna be [D]free

(Second verse/chorus: Key of C)

Oh...[Bb]I wanna be free

(Spoken)
[Bb]Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pining for the love I can't forget
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape, and that's:

[CHORUS 2]
One dying and a [E7]buryin'
[F]One dying and a b[Bb]uryin'
[E7] [Dm] -[Fm]
Some cryin' six carryin' me
I wanna be [Bb]free
