When [Am]I die, would you take my body down to the [E7]sea?
‘Cause for a long time, I have been living on without a [Am]country.
For a long time, I have been dying without a [E7]grave
So when I die, would you bury me in the middle of the [Am]waves?
When [Am]I die, would you take my body down to the [E7]sea?
Don’t hesitate, you’d never feel sorry [Am]for me
Even [Dm]cry, let the fish feed on my [Am]flesh,
So when I [E7]die, I will become part of the world that is so [Am]fresh.
When [Am]I die, would you take my body down to the [E7]sea?
Under the sun, let the ebb tide car-[Am]ry me
When we [Dm]go, would you please not close my [Am]eyes?
So I can [E7]see, for the last time, my home [Am]country?
I’ll be [Dm]gone, with the wind to the world other [Am]side
To hear my [E7]mother’s sigh, to hear my [Am]children’s cry
From all the eyes, sadder than the [E7]night.
I’ll be [Dm]gone, with the scream to eternal [Am]dream
Where there is no more blood to be [E7]shed,
And where there are no lives to be [Am]killed.
Ever peaceful-[E7]ly, ever peaceful-[Am]ly
When [Am]I die, the sadness also [E7]dies
Somebody forever [Am]parts, [E7]so forever e-[Am]xiles
When [Am]I die, would you take my body down to the [E7]sea..? [Am]
