[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb] [Fm]
What [Db] does it matter, [Fm] the dream of [Db] love or the dream of [Eb] life?
We're all gonna be the [Ab] same place [C] when we die.
[Fm] Spirit don't [Db] leave no [Fm] one, faith on your [Eb] name.
Wind through your [Ab] bones is all [C] that remains.
[Fm] We're all [Db] gonna [Eb] be
[Fm] I said, we're [Db] all gonna [Eb] be
Yeah, [Fm] yeah, yeah.
I said, we're all [Db] gonna [Eb] be
Yeah, [Fm] yeah, yeah.
I said, we're all gonna be just dead in the grave.
A [Db] quill from a [Fm] buzzard, blood [Db] rots and murders.
[Eb] I wanna know, [Ab] am I the sky [C] or a [Fm] bird?
[Db] Hell's [Fm] boiling over, [Db] heaven is [Eb] full
We're chained to the world, [Ab] and we're [C] all gonna [Fm] pull
And we're all gonna [Db] be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're [Db] all gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all gonna [Db] be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all gonna be just [F] dirt in the
[Fm] ground
Now the [Db] killer was smiling, [Fm] the blood's made [Db] of stone
[Eb] Climbed the stairs, [Ab] and the gallows [C] groaned
[Fm] And the people's [Db] hearts were pounding
[Fm] They were throbbing, they [Db] were red
[Eb] It swung out over the crowd, [Ab] I heard the [C] hangman [Fm] said
We're all [Db] gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all [Db] gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're [Db] all gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all gonna be [F] just dirt in the ground
[Fm] Now Cain slew Abel, killed him with a stone
[Eb] Sky cracked open, [Ab] the [C] thunder [Fm] groaned
Along with ribbled [Db] flesh, [F] killed these dry [Db] bones
And if [Eb] they could king or [Ab] beggar, and the [C] answer they'd [Fm] give
Is we're all [Db] gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all [Db] gonna be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all [Db] gonna [Ab] be, [Eb] yeah, [Fm] yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
We're all gonna be [Eb] just dirt [Fm] in the ground
We're all gonna be [Eb] just dirt [Fm] in the ground
I said we're all [Db] gonna be [Eb] just dirt [Fm] in the ground
Girl, we're all [Db] gonna be just [Ab] [Bb] dirt [Fm] in the ground
