If I Should Die Lyrics & Chords By Bradley Hathaway

Recite a poem, sing me a song
If i know it, i'll hum along
The river's wide and the floor is deep
Hills around and the mountains steep
If I should die and you should live
Know that I gave all that I had to give
Bury me in an empty field
Neath' the big oak tree on the top of a hill
So is the world big, or are we small?
What is it that we want most of all?
Warm nights, cool days
Someone to love us and to always stay
If I should die and you should live
Know that I gave all that I had to give
Bury me in an empty field
Neath' the big oak tree on the top of a hill
Sons and Fathers
Mothers and Daughters
Are we getting closer or are we farther?
The desert's dry, the ocean's wet
Keep your promises and don't forget
If I should die and you should live
Know that I gave all that I had to give
Bury me in an empty field
Neath' the big oak tree on the top of a hill
