Brendan's Death Song

	  		

Intro: D  Am7  Em  G 

Verso 1:
 
D       Am7                 Em              G 
Live or die before I get it done will you decide? 
D       Am7                      Em              G 
Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive 
          D    Am7       Em            G 
Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive, 

Verso 2: 
     D        Am7                       Em                  G 
It's safe out there and now you’re everywhere just like the sky 
    D     Am7                          Em                G 
And you I love you, you are the love supreme you are the ride 
            D    Am7                     Em                G 
And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye 

 
G 
Like I said 
             C 
You know I'm almost dead 
              Em 
You know I'm almost gone 
             G 
And when the drummer drums 
           C 
He's gonna play my song 
         Em 
To carry me along 

G 
Like I said 
             C 
You know I'm almost dead 
              Em 
You know I'm almost gone 
             G 
And when the moment comes 
         C 
To ferry me away 
           Em 
To where we all belong
 

Verso 3:
 
D      Am7                      Em                 G 
We all cross when we’re feeling lost it's just the time 
      D     Am7                  Em            G 
Could Terry cry the day her lover died she recognized 
            D    Am7               Em               G 
Because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise 
    D          Am7                    Em                 G 
The nights are long but the years are short when you’re alive 
D        Am7                 Em            G 
Way back when will never be again it was a time 
           D     Am7               Em               G 
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the line 

 
G 
Like I said 
             C 
You know I'm almost dead 
              Em 
You know I'm almost gone 
             G 
And when the drummer drums 
           C 
He's gonna play my song 
         Em 
To carry me along 

G 
Like I said 
             C 
You know I'm almost dead 
              Em 
You know I'm almost gone 
             G 
And when the moment comes 
         C 
To ferry me away 
           Em 
To where we all belong
