Tom Waits

^Em What does it ^C matter, ^Em a dream of love
Or a dream of ^C lies
We're ^D all gonna be the same ^G place
When we ^B7 die
^Em Your spirit don't leave ^C knowing
^Em Your face or your ^C name
And the ^D wind through your bones
Is ^G all that ^B7 remains
^Em And we're all gonna ^C be.. ^D . ^Em
(4 times)
Em (sung only)
Just dirt in the ground
Verse 2:
^Em The quill from a ^C buzzard
^Em The blood writes the ^C word
I want to ^D know am I the ^G sky
or the ^B7 bird
'Cause ^Em hell is ^C boiling over
^Em And heaven is ^C full
We're ^D chained to the world
And ^G we all gotta ^B7 pull
^Em And we're all gonna ^C be. ^D .. ^Em
(4 times)
^Em ...Just dirt in the ground
Verse 3:
Now the ^Em killer was ^C smiling
With ^Em nerves made of ^C stone
^D He climbed the stairs
And the ^G gallows ^B7 groaned
And the ^Em people's hearts were ^C pounding
They were ^Em throbbing, they were ^C red
As he ^D swung out over the crowd
I heard the ^G hangman ^B7 said
^Em We're all gonna ^C be.. ^D . ^Em
(4 times)
^Em Just dirt in the ground
Verse 4:
Now ^Em Cain slew ^C Gel
He ^Em killed him with a ^C stone
The ^D sky cracked open
And the ^G thunder ^B7 groaned
^Em Along a river of ^C flesh
^Em Can these dry bones ^C live?
Ask a ^D king or a beggar
And the ^G answer they'll ^B7 give
^Em Is we're all gonna ^C be. ^D .. ^Em
(4 times)
^Em We're all gonna be just
