Intro G G I will not go down under the ground G C 'Cause somebody tells me that death's coming 'round C G And I will not carry myself down to die G C When I go to my grave, my head will be high C G C G D C G Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground G There's been rumors of war and wars that have been G C The meaning of life has been lost in the wind C G And some people thinkin' that the end is close by G C 'Stead of learning to live, they are learning to die C G C G D C G Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground G I don't know if I'm smart, but I think I can see G C When someone is pulling the wool over me C G And if this war comes and death's all around G C Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground C G C G D C G Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground G There's always been people that have to cause fear G C They've been talkin' about a war now for many long years C G I've read all their statements and I've not said a word G C But now, Lord God, let my poor voice be heard C G C G D C G Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground G Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood G C Let the smell of wild flowers flow free through my blood C G Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves G C Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace C G C G D C G Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground G Go out in your country where the land meets the sun G C See the craters and the canyons and where the waterfalls run C G Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho G C Let every state in this union see deep down in its soul C G C G D C G And you'll die in your footsteps, before you go down under the ground
