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
