This song is easier than it sounds, 
It's only three chords - G  Bm/F#  Em


Intro: G  B  Em x2
                              G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and weep 
                           G     B   Em
I am not there I do not sleep 
                            G     B   Em
I am a thousand winds that flow  
                           G     B   Em
I am the sunlight on my own grave 


G     B   Em


                      G     B   Em
I am a gentle autumn rain 
                          G     B   Em
I am the swift uplifting rush 
                              G     B   Em
of quiet birds in circled flight 

                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                          G     B   Em
I am not there I did not die 

(Spoken , play the same chords): 

Man is of yet, is half grown 
Even his flower stem has not appeared yet 
He's all leaves and roots without a sign of stem in sight 
Blossoming, establishing a new pure relationship with the 
cosmos 
It is the sign of heaven. 
It's the sign of the cobra. 
It's the sign of a man who knows himself royally. 
Crowned with the sun. 
His feet gripping the earth as he goes. 
We have arrived. 
                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                             G     B   Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
                          
                          G     B   Em
I am not there I did not die 

I am not there I did not die
