             A
If I should fall from grace with God
          D            A
Where no doctor can relieve me.
        A
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
        D              F#m
But the angels won't receive me.

Chorus:
        A
Let me go, boys,
       F#m  D
Let me go, boys.
 A             D       A
Let me go down in the mud
           E               A
Where the rivers all run dry.

This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others

Chorus:
Let them go, boys
Let them go, boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse shall lie upon me

Chorus:
It's coming up threes, boys
Keeps coming up threes, boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

If I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
So the angels won't receive me

Chorus:
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
