       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
