       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                        
Take them down to Londons drinking 
       Cm
reservoirs
               F
And throw them in

          G                      
And then specks infinitesimal of my 
Cm
mortal remains
                G                
Will slide down 7 million throats 
          Cm
and into 7 million veins
           G                  
And I will creep through their 
                    Cm
capillaries to the marrow of their 
bones
              G                 
And they will wake to bright new 
                   Cm              
mornings and then wordlessly theyll
    F
 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                     
And I will spread through streams 
                    Cm
and rivers like a virus through a 
host
         G                         
From the hamlets to the cities from
     Cm
 the rivers to the coast
         G                     
And from there into the channel 
            Cm
across the great Atlantic Ocean
          G
And ever onwards to the new world
            Cm
Through the waters gentle motions
      G                            
Until parts of me are part of every
 Cm
 land mass every sea
       G                           
In the rain, up on your crops and 
      Cm            F
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          
And all the things I love will be 
  Cm                     F
washed away in the rain
    G    Dm  Cm  F   G
I remain


D*   Eb

           D*
Im not convinced of the existence of
 these things that dont exist
         Eb
Yeah by Jewish boys with big ideas 
and scratches on their wrist
      D*
By a loving or a vengeful God

Or one who condescends
                 Eb
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
            Eb
I know that everything we are right 
now is everything that was
          D
That Watt Tyler, Woody, Guthrie, 
Dostoevsky and Davy Jones
           Eb
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
