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
