G On the very day I die Cm6 The very last of my desires G Is that you take my broken body Cm6 And commit it to the fire G And then when the fire is finished Cm6 Scrape the ashes in a tin G Cm6 Take them down to Londons drinking reservoirs F And throw them in G Cm6 And then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains G Cm6 Will slide down 7 million throats and into 7 million veins G Cm6 And I will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones G Cm6 F And they will wake to bright new mornings and then wordlessly theyll know
G G6add#9
That I remain
Cm6 F I am remembered
G G6add#9
I remain
Cm6 F I am remembered G So these 7 million innocents Cm6 They will have me in their blood G And when they die theyll burn their bodies Cm6 Or be buried in the mud G Cm6 And I will spread through streams and rivers like a virus through a host G Cm6 From the hamlets to the cities from the rivers to the coast G Cm6 And from there into the channel across the great Atlantic Ocean G And ever onwards to the new world Cm6 Through the waters gentle motions G Cm6 Until parts of me are part of every land mass every sea G Cm6 F In the rain, up on your crops and in the very air you breath
G G6add#9
I remain
Cm6 F I am remembered
G G6add#9
I remain
Cm6 F I am remembered G I remain G6add#9 Cm6 F And all the things I love will be washed away in the rain G G6add#9 Cm6 F G I remain
D/F# D#/G
D/F# Im not convinced of the existence of these things that dont exist D#/G Yeah by Jewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist D/F# By a loving or a vengeful God
Or one who condescends
D#/G Wholl wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men F/A Or by ever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky F#m/A# Like a dream catcher distracting from the fact youre gonna die D/F# But I place one foot before the other
Confident because
D#/G I know that everything we are right now is everything that was D/F# That Watt Tyler, Woody, Guthrie, Dostoevsky and Davy Jones D#/G Are all dissolved into the ether and have crept into my bones F/A And all the cells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands F#m/A# D/F# Were once carved into the details of two feet upon the sand
G G6add#9
We remain
Cm6 F We are remembered
G G6add#9
We remain
Cm6 F We are remembered G We remain
G6add#9
And all the things we love
Cm6 F Will be washed away in the rain G G6add#9 Cm6 F We remain
