Standard (EADGBE)

In the event of my demise

 Be sure to include this statement

 When you are bent on closing my eyes

 Thinking about what my life meant

 Alone on a hill back in '65

 Things looked a lot like changing

 Singing our songs that we harmonized

 Dreaming of worlds rearranging

 And I don't know why I'm singing tonight

Maybe it's time someone told you

Just because you say you've seen the light

Doesn't mean nobody sold you

I can remember all of your smiles

 During the demonstrations

 Taking on what seemed like the whole world

 Igniting the hearts of our nations

 And together we sang our victory songs

 Though we were worlds apart

Every thing then has now passed away

 Except for the love in my heart

 Sitting at home on computerized beds

 Trying to come to conclusions

 Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads

 Ignoring the states of illusion

 Drunk in a world of material wealth

No one can notice you falling

Fantastic flights once good for your health

Now make you deaf to your calling

And all alone the prophet groans

 With words as yet unseen

Who'll be awake when the master returns

 Who will be lost in their dreams

 So in the event of my demise

 Be sure to include this statement

 Only the words of love kept alive

 Are worthy of not being wasted
