[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
D Am
This world is made with sweat and toil
C G
Pushing muscle and elbow oil
Am F
We can't lie too long in the shade
Am G Am
'Cause everyday must be remade
[Verse]
D Am
Some days we fall, some days we fly
C G
In the end we all must die
Am F
Our rotten flesh and broken bones
Am G Am
Will feed the ground that we call home
D G Am
Will feed the ground that we call home
[Chorus]
C G
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
Am D
This song will go on after me
F Am
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It's another day to live and die
D G Am
Another day to live and die
[Verse]
D Am
I've run naked in the wild
C G
Seen the beauty of a new born child
Am F
And like the alchemists of old
Am G Am
I've tried to spin my straw to gold
[Verse]
D Am
Most times a giver, sometimes a thief
C G
So full of hope, but prone to grief
Am F
And between freedom and despair
Am G Am
I know the truth is lying there
D G Am
I know the truth is lying there
[Chorus]
C G
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
Am D
This song will go on after me
F Am
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It's another day to live and die
D G Am
Another day to live and die
[Verse]
D Am
Go on now, don't you worry about me
C G
You've miles to go and a world to see
Am F
My life's been long and full and good
Am G Am
I've run this race the best I could
[Verse]
D Am
It's a short time here and a long apart
C G
The same song rings in both our hearts
Am F
So take this guitar when I'm far gone
Am G Am
Write your rhymes and pass it on
D G Am
Write your rhymes and pass it on
[Chorus]
C G
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
Am D
This song will go on after me
F Am
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
G
It's another day to live and die
[Chorus]
C G
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
Am D
This song will go on after me
F Am
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It's another day to live and die
D G Am
Another day to live and die
D G Am
Another day to live and die
D G Am
Another day to live and die
