FA# FA# MI RE si
If I die before

si sol la si la sol
Will you decide?

Like I said
la sol la si si si
You know I’m almost dead

And when the drummer drums
la sol la si si si
He’s going to play my song
la sol la si RE si la sol
To carry me along

Like I said
la sol la si si si
You know I’m almost dead

And when the boatman comes
la sol la si si si
To ferry me away
la sol la si RE si la sol
To where we all belong

FA# FA# MI
We all crossed
RE si sol MI MI RE
When we were feeling lost
si sol la si la sol
It’s just the tide
FA# FA# MI
Katari cried
RE si sol MI MI RE
The day her lover died
si sol la si la sol
She recognized
re re re si la
Because he gave her
sol mi re si la
A life of real love
sol mi sol la sol
It’s no surprise

sol FA# FA# MI RE
The nights are long
si sol MI MI RE
But the years are short
si sol la si la sol
When you’re alive
FA# FA# MI RE
Way back when
si sol MI MI RE
Would never be again
si sol la si la sol
It was a time
re re re si la
It’s gonna catch you

To walk the line

si si si

You know I’m almost dead

You know I’m almost gone
sol sol la si si si
And when the drummer drums
