Brendan's Death Song

Chords

Standard

D       C            Am     Em              G

Live or die before I get it done will you decide?

D       C                   Am   Em                 G

Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive

          D    C        Am Em            G

because a long time ago I  knew not to deprive

     D        C              Am   Em                  G

It's safe out there now your everywhere just like the sky

    D     C                     Am    Em                G

And you I love you, you are the lucid dream you are the ride

             D    C                  Am   Em                G

And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye
 
 
G                        Cmaj7                     Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

             G                        Cmaj7                 Em

and when the drummer drums it's gonna play my song to carry me along

G                        Cmaj7                     Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

             G                      Cmaj7               Em

and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
 
 
D      C                  Am      Em                 G

We all cross when we were feeling lost it's just the time

      D     C               Am    Em            G

Could terry cry the day her lover died she recognized

            D    C             Am   Em              G

Because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise

    D          C            Am        Em               G

The nights are long but the years are short when your alive

D        C                Am  Em            G

Way back when we’ll never be again it was a time,

           D   C              Am  Em              G

It's gonna get you; so glad I met you to walk the line
 
 
G                        Cmaj7                     Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

             G                        Cmaj7                 Em

and when the drummer drums it's gonna play my song to carry me along

G                        Cmaj7                     Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

             G                      Cmaj7               Em

and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

G                        Cmaj7                Em

Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries

G                       Cmaj7                Em

Let me die so when it's time to live another sun will rise
