[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7 Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
G Cmaj7 Em
and when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
G Cmaj7 Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
G Cmaj7 Em
and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7 Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
G Cmaj7 Em
and when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
G Cmaj7 Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
G Cmaj7 Em
and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

[Verse]
G Cmaj7 Em
Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries
G Cmaj7 Em
Let me die so when it's time to live another son will rise
