Intro: G+G

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

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

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

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

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

G+G
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
G+G                       C majorC
See the craters and the canyons and where the waterfalls run
C majorC G+G
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
G+G                   C majorC
Let every state in this union see deep down in its soul
C majorC     G+G      C majorC       G+G    D MajorD    C majorC     G+G
