Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x2
 Do not stand at my grave and weep
 I am not there I do not sleep
 I am a thousand winds that flow
 I am the sunlight on my own  grave
 I am a gentle autumn rain
 I am the swift uplifting rush
 of quiet birds in circled flight
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 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.
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 Do not stand at my grave and cry
 I am not there I did not die
 I am not there I did not die

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.
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry   [B]       [Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry   [B]       [Em]
Do not stand at my grave and [G]cry   [B]       [Em]

I am not there I did not d[G]ie    [B]        [Em]

I am not there I did not die
