I"ve seen Danny Schmidt play this with a Capo on 6 and Carrie Elkin plays it with a Capo on 2. When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand Let them laugh for all the laughter Let them cry for laughter’s end But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends When I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe Let them raise a glass to consciousness And not spill a drop for grief Let the bubbles rise at midnight Let their tongues get light as thieves And when I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe I believe in restless hunger I believe in red balloons I believe in private thunder In the end I do believe I believe in inspiration I believe in lightning bugs I believe in slow creation In the end I do believe I believe in ink on paper I believe in lips on ears I believe what's shared is savored In the end I do believe I believe in work on Sundays I believe in raising barns I believe in wasting Mondays In the end I do believe I believe in intuition I believe in being wrong I believe in contradiction In the end I do believe I believe in living smitten I believe all hearts will mend I believe our book is written By our company of friends So when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand Let them laugh for all the laughter Let them cry for laughter’s end But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends
