Potter’s Field - Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women
(Chorus)
G
Bury Me in Potter’s Field
Em-D G
Bury Me in Potter’s Field
In the Fields where I belong
Em
Where the Powerless are strong
C Bm
And the nameless are unclaimed and unrevealed
C G
Oh Bury Me in Potter’s Field
Em
When I meet you in the Meadow Long at Last
C Bm
The Dreams - and all the Disappointments
C D
Fading like Footprints in the Grass
Chorus
Em
Sometimes I hear you singing in the Breeze
C Bm
A Song that promises no sorrow
C D
For now its fading By degrees
Chorus
