Intro G 

G 
I will not go down under the ground 
G                             C 
'Cause somebody tells me that death's coming 'round 
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 

G 
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been 
G                            C 
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind 
C   G 
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by 
G                                    C 
'Stead of learning to live, they are learning to die 
C      G         C             G     D       C         G 
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground 

G 
I don't know if I'm smart, but I think I can see 
G                           C 
When someone is pulling the wool over me 
C      G 
And if this war comes and death's all around 
G                               C 
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground 
C      G         C             G     D       C         G 
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground 

G 
There's always been people that have to cause fear 
G                                        C 
They've been talkin' about a war now for many long years 
C     G 
I've read all their statements and I've not said a word 
G                         C 
But now, Lord God, let my poor voice be heard 
C      G         C             G     D       C         G 
Let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground 

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

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