Fm
           
Db
      
Fm
        
What does it matter, a dream of love
              
Db
       
Or a dream of lies
      
Eb

We're all gonna be the same place

When we die

Your spirit don't leave knowing
Fm

Your face or your name
        
Eb

And the wind through your bones
   
Ab
       
C7

Is all that remains
Fm

And we're all gonna be...

Just dirt in the ground

Fm

The quill from a buzzard

The blood writes the word
          
Eb
            
Ab

I want to know am I the sky 
       
C7

or the bird
       
Fm
      
Db

'Cause hell is boiling over
Fm
            
Db

And heaven is full

We're chained to the world
    
Ab

And we all gotta pull

Now the killer was smiling
     
Fm
             
Db
 
With nerves made of stone
Eb
     
He climbed the stairs
        
Ab
      
C7

And the gallows groaned
        
Fm
                   
Db
 
And the people's hearts were pounding
          
Fm
                   
Db

They were throbbing, they were red
      
Eb

As he swung out over the crowd
            
Ab
      
C7
    
I heard the hangman said
Fm
              
Db
   
Eb
  
Fm
    
We're all gonna be...
(4 times)
Fm
 
Just dirt in the ground

Now Cain slew Abel
   
Fm
                
Db

He killed him with a stone
    
Eb

The sky cracked open
        
Ab
      
C7
 
And the thunder groaned
Fm
               
Db

Along a river of flesh
Fm
                  
Db

Can these dry bones live?
      
Eb

Ask a king or a beggar
        
Ab
             
C7
  
And the answer they'll give
Fm
                 
Db
  
Eb
  
Fm

Is we're all gonna be...
(4 times)
Fm

We're all gonna be just
