[Verse]
Am Em Am
How long can this journey go on?
F G Am
Will I find the place I'm meant to go?
F Am
Will dreams fall down around us, just like the winter snow?
Am Em Am
Another year has come and gone
F G Am
Will my luck hold on for one year more?
F G
I think of how far I have come, and what's been left behind
[Chorus]
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
F Am
Will they take it from the river after I've jumped right in and drowned?
F G
Will they find it on the battlefield, on the spot I stood my ground?
[Interlude]
Am Em Am
Am Em Am
[Verse]
Am Em Am
I walk alone, I walk apart.
Am Em Am
Someday, I'll wander no more.
F G Am
I search to find what I have lost and that which I've never known.
Am Em Am
And when I find that I have gone
Am Em Am
across that river I know,
F G
I'll take only my memories, and things that might have been.
[Chorus]
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
F Am
Will they cut it from a hangman's noose after the sentence has come down?
F G
Will anyone be there to morn a villain's passing to the ground?
[Interlude]
F G ??
F Am ?????
[Chorus]
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
