[N] And when I die, [Dm] [Em]
[Eb] and when I'm [Am]
dead, dead [C] and gone,
[F] there'll be one [Em] child [Dm] born,
[F] and a world to carry on,
to [N] carry [C] on.
[F] I'm not scared of dying, and I don't really care,
if it's peace you find in dying, well [Gm] then let the time be near,
[Bb] if it's peace you find [F] in dying,
[G] time is [Dm] here,
just learn [F] to love my soul,
from crazy cold way down there, I [C] hear the death toll way down there,
yeah, [Dm] crazy cold way down [F] there.
And [Em] when I [Am] die, and [C] when I'm gone, there'll be [Dm] one child born,
and a world to carry on, to [C] carry on.
My troubles are many, there are deep down to well,
I can swear there ain't no heaven, [G] but I pray there [C] ain't no hell,
[Bb] swear there [F] ain't no heaven, I pray there [D] ain't no hell,
but I'll never know if I live, and [C] only my dying will tell,
[Dm] And [Em] when I [Am] die, and when [F] I'm gone, there'll be one [Dm] child born,
and a world to carry on, to [C] carry [F] on.
[C] Give me my freedom for as long as I be,
all I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
[Bb] all I ask [F] of living is to have no [G] chains on me,
[Dm] and all I ask is to die, and [C] to go naturally,
I only want to go naturally,
don't want to go by the devil, don't [F] want to go by the [C] demon,
don't [F] want to go by [C] Satan, don't [F] want to die,
only to go [Dm] [C] naturally.
[Dm] And [Em] when I die, [Am] and when [F] I'm gone, [F] there'll be one child born,
there'll be one child [C] born,
when I
[F] die, [C] there'll be one child born.
