AWe're all still here
no one has gone away
C#mWaitiEng, aBmcting much too 
well and procrastiB7nating
The cE7ross of the earthF#  
(let me go through)
The four winds point them
Body to body
Seas to anoint them
The reed they brought him
Sponge and vinegar
Fiery serpents
Spitting gold and cinnamon
The moon was bleeding
And stars were shallow
And the sword that killed him
Was a sword of wBillow
EHello I must be goBing well I oEnly came to sBay
I hEear my mother caAlling and I Emust be on my Away
Am7*     D/F#Am7*                 Bm    D/F#    Bm  
Ohhhhhhhh I remember it all from before
The wE7inter and the midnightF#  
Could not hold him
The fire could not burn him
Nor earth enfold him
Rise up Lazarus
Sweet and salty
Brother soldiers
Stop your gambling and talk to me
The thieves were stealers
But reason condemned him
And the grave was empty
Where they had laid hBim
EHello I must be goBing well I oEnly came to sBay
I hEear my mother caAlling and I Emust be on my Away
Am7*     D/F#Am7*                  Bm    D/F#    Bm  
Ohhhhhhhh I remember it all from before
     E**
Why heroes die at sunrise
         *1
Why the birds are arrows of the wise
         *2
Why each perfumed flower
         *3
Why each moment has its hour
It's yAouE  
It's all AtrueE  
StDranger than tEhat we're alAive
Stranger than that, stranger than that
Stranger than that we're alive
Whatever you think ,it's more than that, more than that
Happy man, the happy man
Doing the best he can, Doing the best he can
Happy man, the happy man
Doing the best he can, Doing the best he can
KAeep on walking where the angels shE7owed
(All will be one, All will be oAne)
TAravelling where the saints have tE7rod
Over in the old golden lAand
        Am7*               G       A  E  
In the golden book of the golden game
The goAlden aEngel wroAte my nEame
          Am7*              G        A  E  
When the deal goes down I'll put my crown
OAver in the Eold golden lAand
Repeat Chords
I won't need to kiss you when we're there
(All will be one, All will be one)
I won't need to miss you when we're there
Over in the old golden land
In the golden book of the golden game
The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I'll put my crown
Over in the old golden land
We'll understand it better in the sweet bye and bye
(All will be one, All will be one)
You won't need to worry and you won't have to cry
Over in the old golden land 
In the golden book of the golden game
The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I'll put my crown
Over in the old golden land

The cross of the earth

(let me go through)

The four winds point them

And the sword that killed him

Was a sword of willow

The winter and the midnight

Could not hold him

The fire could not burn him

Nor earth enfold him

Rise up Lazarus

Sweet and salty

Brother soldiers

Stop your gambling and talk to me

The thieves were stealers

But reason condemned him

And the grave was empty

Where they had laid him

Hello I must be going well I only came to say

I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way

Doing the best he can, Doing the best he can

Happy man, the happy man

Doing the best he can, Doing the best he can
