G
on the very day i die
Cm
the very last of my desires
G
is that you take my broken body
Cm
and commit it to the fire
G
and then when the fire is finished
Cm
scrape the ashes in a tin
G Cm
take them down to londons drinking reservoirs
F
and throw them in

G Cm
and then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains
G Cm
will slide down 7 million throats and into 7 million veins
G Cm
and i will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones
G Cm F
and they will wake to bright new mornings and then wordlessly theyll know

G Dm
that i remain
Cm F
i Am remembered
G Dm
i remain
Cm F
i Am remembered

G
so these 7 million innocents
Cm
they will have me in their blood
G
and when they die theyll burn their bodies
Cm
or be buried in the mud
G Cm
and i will spread through streams and rivers like a virus through a host
G Cm
from the hamlets to the cities from the rivers to the coast
G Cm
and from there into the channel across the great atlantic ocean
G
and ever onwards to the new world
Cm
through the waters gentle motions
G Cm
until parts of me are part of every land mass every sea
G Cm F
in the rain , up on your crops and in the very air you breath

G Dm
i remain
Cm F
i Am remembered
G Dm
i remain
Cm F
i Am remembered
G
i remain

Dm Cm F
and all the things i love will be washed away in the rain
G Dm Cm F G
i remain

D * D#

D *
im not convinced of the existence of these things that dont exist
D#
yeah by jewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist
D *
by a loving or a vengeful god

or one who condescends
D#
wholl wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men
F
or by ever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky
G
like a dream catcher distracting from the fact youre gonna die

D *
but i place one foot before the other

confident because
D#
i know that everything we are right now is everything that was
D
that watt tyler , woody , guthrie , dostoevsky and davy jones
D#
are all dissolved into the ether and have crept into my bones
F
and all the cells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands
D
were once carved into the details of two feet upon the sand

G Dm
we remain
Cm F
we are remembered
G Dm
we remain
Cm F
we are remembered
G
we remain
Dm
and all the things we love
Cm F
will be washed away in the rain
G Dm Cm F
we remain
