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