       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
Scr*pe 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
         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*   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
