Verse 1:
Em C Em What does it matter, a dream of love C Or a dream of lies D G We're all gonna be the same place B7 When we die Em C Your spirit don't leave knowing Em C Your face or your name D And the wind through your bones G B7 Is all that remains Em C D Em And we're all gonna be...

Verse 2:
Em C The quill from a buzzard Em C The blood writes the word D G I want to know am I the sky B7 or the bird Em C 'Cause hell is boiling over Em C And heaven is full D We're chained to the world G B7 And we all gotta pull Em C D Em And we're all gonna be...

Em C Now the killer was smiling Em C With nerves made of stone D He climbed the stairs G B7 And the gallows groaned Em C And the people's hearts were pounding Em C They were throbbing, they were red D As he swung out over the crowd G B7 I heard the hangman said Em C D Em We're all gonna be...

Em C Now Cain slew Able Em C He killed him with a stone D The sky cracked open G B7 And the thunder groaned Em C Along a river of flesh Em C Can these dry bones live? D Ask a king or a beggar G B7 And the answer they'll give Em C D Em Is we're all gonna be...
