C              F
As our rotting bodies

    C                  F
Pay back the earth its love

     C           F
In a vile fleshy matter

      C            F
We'll crumble into dust

        Em               Am
I'll be picked up by the wind

    Em                   Am
And blown into strangers eyes

  Em              Am
Defuse into their bodies

          Em              Am
And their tears when they cry

      F                      C
Til I have 5000 people carry me

      F                      C
Til I have 5000 people carry me
[Interlude] C F C F C F C F [Verse 2]
C         F
Oscar and Lucy

     C                F
Will buy themselves a coffin

     C             F
Oh a single box of wood

   C                    F
That together they will rot in

          Em            Am
And their bodies will decay

       Em              Am
And combine with one another

     Em            Am
Oh a single act of love

    Em               Am
Far greater than any other

       F             C
And in death they'll leave just a part of them

      F             C
Oh in death they'll leave one part of them
[Interlude] C F C F C F C F [Verse 3]
            C               F
Oh when I'm minerals in the soil

        C           F
I'll diffuse into a tree

      C         F
It'll have 5000 branches

           C         F
Which will have 5000 leaves

         Em          Am
And I'll be in every one

       Em                Am
Oh and when a leaf blows free

       Em            Am
I will land upon the earth

    Em           Am
And grow another tree

      F                       C
Til I have 5000 trees made of me

          F                      C
Til there are 5000 trees made of me

When Darkness surrounds me

        F           C

I will have 5000 bodies

  G
I will have 5000 trees

           C
Which will have 5000 branches

           G
Which will have 5000 leaves

           C
And I will have 5000 lovers

         G
And I'll have 5000 bees

        C
Made of me
