G5 
On the very day I die
         C5
The very last of my desires
             G5
Is that you take my broken body
      C5 
And commit it to the fire
         G5
And then when the fire is finished
           C5
Scrape the ashes in a tin
          G5                               C5
Take them down to Londons drinking reservoirs
               F5
And throw them in

          G5                      C5
And then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains
                G5                          C5
Will slide down 7 million throats and into 7 million veins
           G5                                      C5
And I will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones
              G5                                    C5                  F5
And they will wake to bright new mornings and then wordlessly theyll know 

          G5     D5
That I remain
        C5      F5
I am remembered
     G5      D5
I remain
       C5       F5
I am remembered

         G5 
So these 7 million innocents
          C5
They will have me in their blood
              G5
And when they die theyll burn their bodies
      C5 
Or be buried in the mud
           G5                                         C5
And I will spread through streams and rivers like a virus through a host
         G5                              C5
From the hamlets to the cities from the rivers to the coast
         G5                                 C5
And from there into the channel across the great Atlantic Ocean
          G5       
And ever onwards to the new world
            C5
Through the waters gentle motions
      G5                             C5
Until parts of me are part of every land mass every sea
       G5                                 C5            F5
In the rain, up on your crops and in the very air you breath

    G5    D5
I remain
       C5        F5
I am remembered
   G5     D5
I remain
       C5       F5
I am remembered
     G5
I remain

                     D5            C5                     F5
And all the things I love will be washed away in the rain
    G5    D5  C5  F5   G5
I remain


D5 *   Eb5

           D5 *                      
Im not convinced of the existence of these things that dont exist
         Eb5
Yeah by Jewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist
      D5 *
By a loving or a vengeful God
 
Or one who condescends
                 Eb5      
Wholl wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men
      F5
Or by ever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky
       G5
Like a dream catcher distracting from the fact youre gonna die

       D5 *
But I place one foot before the other

Confident because
            Eb5
I know that everything we are right now is everything that was
          D5    
That Watt Tyler, Woody, Guthrie, Dostoevsky and Davy Jones
           Eb5
Are all dissolved into the ether and have crept into my bones
            F5
And all the cells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands
           D5
Were once carved into the details of two feet upon the sand

     G5    D5
We remain
         C5       F5
We are remembered
     G5       D5
We remain
         C5       F5
We are remembered
     G5  
We remain
                       D5
And all the things we love
         C5                       F5
Will be washed away in the rain
     G5     D5    C5    F5
We remain
