   INTRO:             

             
  Put no stone

              
 at my head,  

       
 No flowers on

 my tomb
             
  No gold plat

 a marbled pil

lered room

 in the ground
             
  When I die, 

             
     Tear my s

  When I was a

              
 child,   Way 

 
back in the hi

 the men,  Who

   
 tended those 

stills
             
  But that old
