IF I DIE
????????????????????????????
writtten by Peter Hoorelbeke


Intro:

 Em7  Ebm7  F7  E

Verse:

Em7	       Ebm7
Rain is falling on my head,
F7	        E
pretty soon I might be dead.
Em7		     Ebm7
The end is here, Lord, it's plain to see
F7			     E
I guess my country's made a fool of me.


Chorus:

E      [Esus]  A
If I die,     please make sure,
 G             A       E
Someone will bring me home.
E      [Esus]   A
If I die,     tomorrow,
 G            A       E
Someone will be all alone.


Verse:

Family's children standin' by,
Mother finds it hard not to cry.
A look of sadness on their face,
Tryin' hard not to show a trace.

Chorus


One last question before I go,
One last answer I must know.
Tomorrow morning I'll be alone,
Can you tell me why I can't be home?

Chorus
Chorus
I don't wanna die, but if I die...
Chorus
