[Primeira Parte]

D    C            Am     Em              G
If I die before I get it done will you decide
D       C                   Am   Em                 G
Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive
          D    C        Am Em            G
Because a long time ago I  knew not to deprive
     D        C                    Am   Em                    G
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere just like the skies
D       C                 Am    Em                  G
You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise
             D    C                     Am   Em                G
And when you hear this you'll know it's your jam it's your goodbye

[Refrão]

G                        C7M                       Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
             G                           C7M                   Em
And when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
G                        C7M                       Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
             G                      C7M                 Em
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

[Segunda Parte]

D      C                    Am      Em                 G
We all crossed when we were feeling lost it's just the tide
  D    C                 Am    Em            G
Katari cried the day her lover died she recognized
           D    C             Am   Em              G
Because he gave her a life of real love it's no surprise
    D          C            Am        Em                 G
The nights are long but the years are short when you're alive
D        C                Am  Em            G
Way back when would never be again it was a time
           D     C              Am  Em              G
It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you to walk the line

G                        C7M                       Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
             G                           C7M                   Em
And when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
G                        C7M                       Em

             G                      C7M                 Em
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

G                        C7M                       Em

And when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
G                        C7M                       Em

             G                      C7M                 Em
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

G                        C7M                  Em
Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries
G                       C7M                  Em
Let me die so when it's time to live another son will rise

       G          C7M         Em
I said Yeah  Yeah Yeah   Yeah Yeah
       G          C7M         Em
I said Yeah  Yeah Yeah   Yeah Yeah  (cont. a while, fading)
