Chris Is Dead

Capo 6

Intro 



verse 1 

G                         F                          C* 
  Summer day we're on our way feeling good together beautiful Chris 
    Am                                         D    ( e|-3-2-0-2-| ) 
Just me and my friends having fun, enjoying the sun 
       G                     F                            C* 
We are colours we're red and white as my teenage skin was tanned 

You were my father's fifth child 
        Am                                                     D 
and your look was vintage and wild but now you're stuck in the sand 

          G/E  G/F#   G                                       G/F# Em 
'Cause it only took a couple of minutes and all the fish had a new home 
                      C         D                      G      G/B   G 
and I was feeling so alone as I called my daddy on the phone 
             G/E  G/F#    G                                               G/F# Em 
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my father's eyes again 
                      C                      D                      G      G/E  G/F#  
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is dead 

verse 2 

G                                  F 
  Well, anyway I was surfing on my board behind the boat 
            C                                                           C/B 
when I heard a big crash and suddenly rocks and stones appeared from the water 
    Am 
and I was thinking "What are they doing here?"  
                                      D            ( e|-3-2-0-2-| )  G/E  G/F# 
They're not supposed to be here. This can't be real. 
G                               F 
  And then my sister started screaming 
                          C 
Oh my God we're taking in water I've got water up to my knees 
                                  C/B        Am 
and then she picked up the sailor phone and she, she dialed 911 
                                                 D 
'cause she was in a shock and I was too, you know. I didn't know what to do 

          G/E  G/F#   G                                       G/F# Em 
'Cause it only took a couple of minutes and all the fish had a new home 
                      C         D                      G      G/B   G 
and I was feeling so alone as I called my daddy on the phone 
             G/E  G/F#    G                                               G/F# Em 
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my father's eyes again 
                      C                      D                      G  
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is dead 


         G/F# Em 
Oh, Chris is dead 
                       G/F# G 
But look, you've got a new song 
               G/F# Em 
Yeah, but Chris is dead 
                         G/F# G 
But hey, you've got this new song 
        D 
And the song, it wouldn't been made up 
                   C 
if I wouldn't have sinked that ship in the ocean 
        Am                                         G     G/F# 
So when everything comes around I guess things are fine 
Em                       G     G/F# 
  I tell you, things are fine 
Em                 G            G/F#  Em 
  Yeah, things are fine, wohoo
