This song is easier than it sounds,
It's only three chords - G Bm/F# Em
Intro: G Bm/F# Em x2
Do not stand at my grave and w[G]eep [Bm/F#][Em]
I am not there I do not sle[G]ep [Bm/F#][Em]
I am a thousand winds that f[G]low [Bm/F#][Em]
I am the sunlight on my own[G] grave[Bm/F#] [Em]
[G] [Bm/F#] [Em]
I am a gentle autumn r[G]ain [Bm/F#][Em]
I am the swift uplifting r[G]ush [Bm/F#][Em]
of quiet birds in circled flig[G]ht [Bm/F#][Em]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lizzie_west/prayer_crd.html )
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
I am not there I did not d[G]ie [Bm/F#][Em]
(Spoken , play the same chords):
Man is of yet, is half grown
Even his flower stem has not appeared yet
He's all leaves and roots without a sign of stem in sight
Blossoming, establishing a new pure relationship with the
cosmos
It is the sign of heaven.
It's the sign of the cobra.
It's the sign of a man who knows himself royally.
Crowned with the sun.
His feet gripping the earth as he goes.
We have arrived.
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry [Bm/F#][Em]
I am not there I did not d[G]ie [Bm/F#][Em]
I am not there I did not die
