One Dyin' and a Buryin'--Roger Miller
written by Roger Miller
Corrections welcome.


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:
                G
One dying and a buryin' 
A                D
One dying and a buryin' 
          G               Bm-Am
Some crying, six carrying me 
           D
I wanna be free 


(Second verse/chorus: Key of C)

     Bb
Oh...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:
                E7
One dying and a buryin' 
F                Bb
One dying and a buryin' 
        E7               Dm-Fm
Some cryin' six carryin' me 
           Bb
I wanna be free
