Verse 1
G 
under the ground
cuz somebody tells me
C 
G 
that death's coming around and I will
not carry myself down to die
when I go to my grave
C 
my head will be high
G 
C 
Let me die in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
Before I  go down under the ground
There's been rumors of war
and wars that have been
The meaning of life has been
C 
lost in the wind
G 
There's some people thinkin'
that the end is close by
Instead of learnin' to live
C 
they are learnin' to die
G 
C 
Let me dive in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
Before I  go down under the ground
I don't know if I'm smart
But I think I can see
C 
When someone is pulling the wool over me
G 
And if this war comes
and there's death all around
Let me die on this land
C 
before I die on the ground
G 
C 
Let me die in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
Before I  go down under the ground
There's always been people
that have to cause fear
They've been talking about a war now
C 
for many long years
G 
I've read all their statements,
I've not said a word
But now, Lord God,
C 
let my poor voice be heard
G 
C 
Let me die in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
before I  go down under the ground
If I had rubies and riches and crowns
I'll buy the whole world
C 
and I'll change things around
G 
I'll throw all the guns
and the tanks in the sea
C 
For the old mistakes of a past  history
G 
C 
It will die in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
Before I  go down under the ground
Let me drink from the waters
where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers
C 
flow free through my blood
G 
Let me sleep down in the meadows
where the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway
C 
with my brother in peace
G 
C 
Let me die in my footsteps
G 
D 
C 
G 
before I  go down under the ground
Go out in your country
where the land meets the sun
See the craters and canyons
C 
where the wild waters run
G 
Never did New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Never stayed in his union seat
C 
deep down in your soul
G 
C 
And you'll die in your footsteps
G 
D 
C 
Before you go down under
G 
the ground
