I will not go down under the ground
Cause somebody tells me [Db] that death's coming round
And [Ab] I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave [Db] my head will be high
Let [Ab] me die in [Db] my footsteps
[Ab] Before I go [Db] down under the [Ab] ground
There has been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of life [Db] has been lost in the wind
[Ab] And some people thinking that the end is close by
Instead of learning to live [Db] they are learning to die
[Ab] Let me die [Db] in my footsteps
[Ab] Before [Eb] I [Db] go down under [Ab] the ground
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
When someone is pulling [Db] the wool over me
[Ab] And if this war comes and death's all around
Let me die on this land before [Db] I die underground
Let [Ab] me die in [Db] my footsteps
Before [Eb]
I go down [Ab] under the ground
There's always been people that have to cause fear
They've been talking about a [Db] war now for many long years
[Ab] I've read all their statements and I've not said a word
But now Lord God [Db] let my poor voice be heard
[Ab] Let me die [Db] in my footsteps
[Ab] Before I [Db] go down under [Ab] the ground
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers [Db] flow free through my blood
Let [Ab] me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let [Ab] me die in [Db] my footsteps
[Ab] Before [Eb] I go down [Ab] under the ground
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the [Db] canyons and where the waterfalls run
[Ab] Never do New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this [Db] union seep deep down in your soul
And you'll [Ab] die [Db] in your footsteps
[Ab]
Before [Eb] you go [Db] down under [Ab] the ground
Cause somebody tells me [Db] that death's coming round
And [Ab] I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave [Db] my head will be high
Let [Ab] me die in [Db] my footsteps
[Ab] Before I go [Db] down under the [Ab] ground
There has been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of life [Db] has been lost in the wind
[Ab] And some people thinking that the end is close by
Instead of learning to live [Db] they are learning to die
[Ab] Let me die [Db] in my footsteps
[Ab] Before [Eb] I [Db] go down under [Ab] the ground
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
