Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Wor[F]ds and music by Arlo Guthrie
[G][Gsus4][F][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 2]
In the
event of my [F]demise
Be sure to include this statement
[G]When you are bent on
closing [F]my eyes
Thinking about what my life [G]meant

[Verse 3]
[G]Alone on a hill back [F]in '65
Things looked a lot like chan[G]ging
Singing our songs that we
harmon[F]ized
Dreaming of worlds [G]rearranging

[Verse 4]
[G]And I don't know why I'm
[C]singing [G]tonight
[Em]Maybe it's time someone told [D]you
[G]Just because you say you've
[C]seen [G]the light
[Em]Doesn't mean nobody [D]sold [G]you

[Verse 5]
[G]I can remember all of y[F]our smiles
During the demon[G]stra[F] ti[G]ons
Taking on what seemed like
the [F]whole world
Igniting the hearts of our nation[G]s

[Verse 6]
And to[C]gether we sang our
[G]vic[D]tory [Em]songs
Though we were worlds [Am]apart[D]
[G]Every thing then has now passed [F]away
Except for the love in my [G]heart

[Interlude 1]
[G][F]
[G][F][G][F]
[G][F][G][F][Em][G][F]

[Verse 7]
[G]Sitting at home on com
[F]puterized beds
[Dm]Tryine to come to con[F]clu[G]sions
Seeing reflections from rose-
[F]colored heads
Ignoring the states of illusion
[G]

[Verse 8]
Drunk in a world of ma[C]ter[D]ial [G]wealth
[Em]No one can notice you fallin[D]g
[G]Fantastic flights once
[D]good [G]tor your health
[Em]Now make you deaf to your [D]call[G]ing

[Verse 9]
[C]And all alone the[G] prophet gro[Em]ans
With words as yet [Am]un s[D]een
[G]Who'll be awake when
the master re[F]turns
Who will be lost in [G]their [D]dre[Am]am
[G]s

[Interlude 2]
[G][F][C][G]
[C][G][F][C][G]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]
[F]

[Verse 10]
So [G]in the event of my de[F]mise
8e sure to include this statement
[G]Only the words of love kept ali[F]ve
Are worthy of not being wasted
[G]
