[D] [G] And I will not go down under [D] the ground,
[G] Till somebody tells me that death's coming around.
And I will not carry myself down to die,
When I go to my [C] grave, my hand behind.
[D] Let me die [G] in my [C] footsteps,
[G] Before I go down under the ground.
There's been rumors of war, and wars that have been,
And the meaning of life has been lost [D] in the wind.
[G] Some people they're thinking that the end [D] is close by,
Instead of learning to live, they [G] are learning to [C] die.
[G] Let me die [C] in my footsteps,
[D] Before [C] I go down [G] under the ground.
And I may not be smart, but I think I can see,
When someone is pulling the wool [D] over me.
And if this war comes [G] and death's all around,
Let me die on this [C] land, before I die underground.
Let [G] me die in my footsteps,
Before I go down under the ground.
There's always been people that have to cause fear,
They've been talking of the war now for [D] many long years,
And I've read all their statements and I've [G] not said a word.
But now Lord God let my [C] poor voice be heard.
Let [G] me die in my footsteps,
Before I go down under the [D] ground.
If I had rubies and riches and crowns,
I'd buy [G] the whole world and I'd change things [D] around.
And I'd throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea,
[G] For they are [C] mistakes of the past history.
[Gm] Let me die in [C] my footsteps,
[G] Before I go down under the [A] ground.
[G]
[A] Let me drink from your waters [D] where the mountain streams flood,
[G] Let me smell the wildflowers flow free through my [D] blood,
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green [G] grassy leaves,
Let me walk down the highway [C] with my brother in peace.
[G] Let me die [C] in my footsteps,
[G] Before I go down under the ground.
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun,
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run,
Nevada, New [C] Mexico, Arizona, [G] Idaho,
Let every state in this union [C] seep into your soul.
[G] And you'll die in your footsteps,
Before [D] you go [G] down under the ground.
