[Intro] G

G
I will not go down under the ground
G                           
'Cause somebody tells me that 
  C
death's coming 'round
C     G
And I will not carry myself down to 
die
G                         C
When I go to my grave, my head will 
be high
C      G         C             
Let me die in my footsteps, 
G     D       C         G
before I go down under the ground

G
There's been rumors of war and wars 
that have been
G                            C
The meaning of life has been lost in
 the wind
C   G
And some people thinkin' that the 
end is close by
G                                 
'Stead of learning to live, they 
   C
are learning to die
C      G         C             
Let me die in my footsteps, 
G     D       C         G
before I go down under the ground

G
I don't know if I'm smart, but I 
think I can see
G                           C
When someone is pulling the wool 
over me
C      G
And if this war comes and death's 
all around
G                               C
Let me die on this land 'fore I die 
underground
C      G         C             
Let me die in my footsteps, 
G     D       C         G
before I go down under the ground

G
There's always been people that have
 to cause fear
G                                 
They've been talkin' about a war 
       C
now for many long years
C     G
I've read all their statements and 
I've not said a word
G                         C
But now, Lord God, let my poor voice
 be heard
C      G         C             
Let me die in my footsteps, 
G     D       C         G
before I go down under the ground

G
Let me drink from the waters where 
the mountain streams flood
G                                  
Let the smell of wild flowers flow 
C
free through my blood
C      G
Let me sleep in your meadows with 
the green grassy leaves
G                                 
Let me walk down the highway with 
   C
my brother in peace
C      G         C             
Let me die in my footsteps, 
G     D       C         G
before I go down under the ground

G
Go out in your country where the 
land meets the sun
G                                 
See the craters and the canyons 
            C
and where the waterfalls run
C  G
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
G                                 
Let every state in this union see 
     C
deep down in its soul
C          G           C        
And you'll die in your 
     G       D       C         G
footsteps, before you go down under 
the ground
