Intro:G

G
I will not go down under the ground
G C
ʼCause somebody tells me that deathʼs coming ʼround
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

Thereʼs been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkinʼ that the end is close by
ʼStead of learning to live, they are learning to die
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground

I donʼt know if Iʼm smart, but I think I can see
When someone is pulling the wool over me
And if this war comes and deathʼs all around
Let me die on this land ʼfore I die underground
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground

Thereʼs always been people that have to cause fear
Theyʼve been talkinʼ about a war now for many long years
Iʼve read all their statements and Iʼve not said a word
But now, Lord God, let my poor voice be heard
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground

Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wild flowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground

Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons and where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union see deep down in its soul
And youʼll die in your footsteps, before you go down under the ground
