[Verse]
       G
When I die
            D
Let me be a bird
         C
So I can fly
              G
Far from this world
            D
I'll fly so high
       C
When I die
            G C G
Let me be a bird


[Verse]
       G
When I die
               D
Let there be a home
                C
That's warm and dry
                   G
That I can call my own
              D
Big enough to share
           C
When I get there
               G C G
Let there be a home


[Chorus]
D
Ooh
       C
When I die
            G C G
Let me be a bird
D
Ooh
       C
When I die
               G C G
Let there be a home

[Verse]
          G
While I'm alive
             D
Let there be peace
          C
Let these cries
         G
Of anger cease
        D
Far and wide
         C
Before I die 
             G C G
Let there be peace


[Chorus]
D
Ooh
       C
When I die
            G C G
Let me be a bird
D
Ooh
       C
When I die
               G C G
Let there be a home
D
Ooh
          C
While I'm alive
             Em D C
Let there be peace


[Outro]
        G
Far and wide
         D
Before I die
             G C G
Let there be peace
