Dirt In The Ground
Fm Db
1. What does it matter,
Fm Db
a dream of love or a dream of lies
Eb Ab
We're all gonna be the same place
C7
When we die
Fm Db
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Fm Db
Your face or your name
Eb
And the wind through your bones
Ab C7
Is all that remains
Fm Db Eb Fm
And we're all gonna be... (4x)
(a capela)...Just dirt in the ground
2. The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky
or the bird
'Cause hell is boiling over
And heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be... (4x)
...Just dirt in the ground
3. Now the killer was smiling
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs
And the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out over the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be... (4x)
...Just dirt in the ground
4. Now, Cain slew Abel
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live?
Ask a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be... (4x)
...just dirt in the ground
