When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends
                                          C             G
Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand
         C                  G
Let them laugh for all the laughter
         Em                 D

When I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe

Let them raise a glass to consciousness
        C                  G
And not spill a drop for grief
       C                 G
Let the bubbles rise at midnight
          Em                   D
Let their tongues get light as thieves
