One Foot Before The Other Acoustic Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

On the Gvery day I die

The very Cmlast of my desires

Is that you tGake my broken body

And coCmmmit it to the fire

And then Gwhen the fire is finished

Scrape the Cmashes in a tin

Take them Gdown to Londons drinking reservoCmirs

And throw them Fin

And then sGpecks infinitesimal of Cmmy mortal remains

Will slide down G7 million throats and into Cm7 million veins

And I will Gcreep through their capillaries to the Cmmarrow of their bones

And they will Gwake to bright new mornings and then Cmwordlessly theyll knFow

That I remGain Dm

I am remCmembered F

I remGain Dm

I am reCmmembered F

So these G7 million innocents

They will Cmhave me in their blood

And when they Gdie theyll burn their bodies

Or be Cmburied in the mud

And I will Gspread through streams and rivers like a vCmirus through a host

From the Ghamlets to the cities from the Cmrivers to the coast

And from Gthere into the channel across the Cmgreat Atlantic Ocean

And ever oGnwards to the new world

Through the Cmwaters gentle motions

Until Gparts of me are part of every Cmland mass every sea

In the Grain, up on your crops and in the Cmvery air you bFreath

I reGmain Dm

I am reCmmembered F

I rGemain Dm

I am reCmmembered F

I remGain

And all the things I Dmlove will be wCmashed away in the rain F

I reGmain Dm Cm F G

D D♯

Im not convDinced of the existence of these things that dont exist

Yeah by JD♯ewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist

By a lDoving or a vengeful God

Or one who condescends

Wholl wash his haD♯nds down in the mire among the misery of men

Or by Fever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky

Like a Gdream catcher distracting from the fact youre gonna die

But I pDlace one foot before the other

Confident because

I know that D♯everything we are right now is everything that was

That Watt DTyler, Woody, Guthrie, Dostoevsky and Davy Jones

Are all disD♯solved into the ether and have crept into my bones

And all the Fcells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands

Were once cDarved into the details of two feet upon the sand

We reGmain Dm

We are reCmmembered F

We reGmain Dm

We are reCmmembered F

We reGmain

And all the things we lDmove

Will be wCmashed away in the rain F

We reGmain Dm Cm F
