I Am chords by Kirtana

Key: G

Kirtana - I am

Verse 1:
G
Before the body, before the story
Am
Before the name
D
Beyond the mind's attempt to find
G                    D
Or explain
G
Before the breath, beyond the sense
Am
Of pleasure or of pain
D                                  G
And after death, and after death, I am

Verse 2:
G
Within the heart, the whole and part
Am
Of everything I see
D                                        G       D
Behind the eyes, beyond disguise, reflecting me
       G                              Am
At the silent core, and yet before phenomena began
D                             G     D
And after it, and after it, I am

Refrain:
G
Many differences separate us
             Am
On the surface, yes
         D                       G             D
But I cannot find a boundary in consciousness
G
And when you ask me
                     Am
Where does awareness begin
And does it end

D
I have to say, I have to say
                     G
I've always been

Verse 3:
G
Within the body, without the body
Am
Not subject to
D
Changing moods or states of health
             G     D
Or points of view
G
Without needs before the deeds
        Am
And the monuments of man
     D                            G
And after them, and after them, I am

Refrain:
G
Many differences separate us
       Am
On the surface, yes
D
But I cannot find a boundary
    G             D
In consciousness
G
And when you ask me
                     Am
Where does awareness begin
And does it end
D
I have to say, I have to say
            G
I've always been

Verse 4:
G
At the silent core
                Am
And yet before phenomena began
D                             G
And after it, and after it, I am
