[Verse 1]
[G]Anc[C]ien[G]t[C][G][C][G]
kings on ancient thrones
From Ninev[C]eh to [G]Babylon
Built pyram[C]ids to hold their [G]bombs
And [Em]far [G]from the ground
they've [C]walked [G]upon[C][G]
And man for his immor[C]tal [G]sake
Conceals his [C]bones in steel an[G]d wood
He leaves the [C]desert in his [G]wake
[Em]An h[G]eir can serve a gr[C]eater good
[G]I have no God[C], no king or sav[G]ior
No world [C]beyond the setting [D]sun
I'll give my [C]thanks for
one more [G]day here
[Em]And [G]go to ground when my
time has [C]come[G][C]
[G]I beg you make my bur[C]ial gro[G]und
A feast [C]for eyes and ears [G]instead
With trees [C]and birds and
flowers [G]abounding
[Em]Where [G]those who mourn
may be [C]comfor[G]ted
I have no [C]God, no King or [G]Savior
No world [C]beyond the setting [D]sun
I'll give my [C]thanks for
one more [G]day here
[Em]And [G]go to ground when my
[C]time [G]has [C]come[G][C][G]
What if the day be [C]dark or [G]fair
Just dig a [C]hole and drop me [G]in
My mother [C]earth will never [G]care for
All that I've done,
everywhere [C]I've [G]bee[C]n
[G]To feed a wild and growing thing
Is all [C]I ever ask of f[G]ame
And maybe [C]on a day in [G]springtime
A little bird will sing my name
I have no [C]God, no King or [G]Savior
No world [C]beyond the setting [D]sun
I'll give my [C]thanks for
one more [G]day here
[Em]And [G]go to ground when
my time has [C]come[G]
An[Em]d go[G] to ground when my
[C]time [G]has [C]come

[Outro 1]
