This song is easier than it sounds,
It's only three chords - G Bm/F# Em
Intro: G Bm/F# Em x2
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and weep
G Bm/F# Em
I am not there I do not sleep
G Bm/F# Em
I am a thousand winds that flow
G Bm/F# Em
I am the sunlight on my own grave
G Bm/F# Em
G Bm/F# Em
I am a gentle autumn rain
G Bm/F# Em
I am the swift uplifting rush
G Bm/F# Em
of quiet birds in circled flight
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
I am not there I did not die
(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.
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
Do not stand at my grave and cry
G Bm/F# Em
I am not there I did not die
I am not there I did not die
