 Tom Waits--Dirt in the Ground (written by T. Waits and Kathleen
 Brennan)
 from Bone Machine--1992
 
 Verse 1:
 Fm           Db      Fm        
 What does it matter, a dream of love
               Db       
 Or a dream of lies
       Eb                    Ab         
 We're all gonna be the same place 
         C7
 When we die
 Fm                      Db
 Your spirit don't leave knowing
 Fm                Db
 Your face or your name
         Eb
 And the wind through your bones
    Ab       C7
 Is all that remains
 Fm                  Db   Eb  Fm   
 And we're all gonna be... 
 (4 times)
 Fm (sung only)
 Just dirt in the ground
 
 
 Verse 2:
 Fm               Db
 The quill from a buzzard
 Fm                   Db
 The blood writes the word
           Eb            Ab
 I want to know am I the sky 
        C7
 or the bird
        Fm      Db
 'Cause hell is boiling over
 Fm            Db
 And heaven is full
       Eb
 We're chained to the world
     Ab           C7
 And we all gotta pull
 Fm                  Db  Eb  Fm
 And we're all gonna be...
 (4 times)
 Fm
 ...Just dirt in the ground
 
 
 Verse 3:
         Fm         Db
 Now the killer was smiling
      Fm             Db 
 With nerves made of stone
 Eb     
 He climbed the stairs
         Ab      C7
 And the gallows groaned
         Fm                   Db 
 And the people's hearts were pounding
           Fm                   Db
 They were throbbing, they were red
       Eb
 As he swung out over the crowd
             Ab      C7    
 I heard the hangman said
 Fm              Db   Eb  Fm    
 We're all gonna be...
 (4 times)
 Fm 
 Just dirt in the ground
 
 
 Verse 4:
     Fm        Db
 Now Cain slew Abel
    Fm                Db
 He killed him with a stone
     Eb
 The sky cracked open
         Ab      C7 
 And the thunder groaned
 Fm               Db
 Along a river of flesh
 Fm                  Db
 Can these dry bones live?
       Eb
 Ask a king or a beggar
         Ab             C7  
 And the answer they'll give
 Fm                 Db  Eb  Fm
 Is we're all gonna be...
 (4 times)
 Fm
 We're all gonna be just
