E minorEm
If I die before i get it done,
G+G
will you decide.
C majorC
Take my words and turn them
G+G
into signs that will survive.
C majorC
Because a long time ago,
G+G
I knew not to deprive.
E minorEm
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere,
G+G
just like the skies.
E minorEm
You are love you are the love supreme
G+G
You are the rise.
C majorC
And when you hear this,
E minorEm
You'll know its your jam,
G+G
It's your goodbye.
Chorus:
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the drummer drums,
C majorC
he's going to play my song,
E minorEm
to carry me along.
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the boatman comes
C majorC
to ferry me away,
E minorEm
to where we all belong.
(Like the first Verse)
We all crossed, when we were feeling lost,
it's just the tide.
Katari cried, the day her lover died,
she recognized.
Because he gave her,
a life of real love,
it's no surprise.
The nights are long,
but the years are short,
when you're alive.
way back when, would never be again,
it was a time.
it's gonna catch you,
so glad i met you,
to walk a line.
Chorus:
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the drummer drums,
C majorC
he's going to play my song,
E minorEm
to carry me along.
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the boatman comes
C majorC
to ferry me away,
E minorEm
to where we all belong.
(E minorEm for this part)
hey!...
Chorus:
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the drummer drums,
C majorC
he's going to play my song,
E minorEm
to carry me along.
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the boatman comes
C majorC
to ferry me away,
E minorEm
to where we all belong.
G+G
Let me live,
C majorC
so when it's time to die,
E minorEm
even the reaper cries
G+G
Let me die.
C majorC
So when it's time to live,
E minorEm
another son will rise.
G+G
I said yeah!
E minorEm
yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!
G+G
I said yeah!
E minorEm
yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!
Chorus:
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the drummer drums,
C majorC
he's going to play my song,
E minorEm
to carry me along.
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone.
G+G
and when the boatman comes
C majorC
to ferry me away,
E minorEm
to where we all belong.
G+G
Like I said
C majorC
you know I'm almost dead,
E minorEm
you know I'm almost gone. (3x)
