INTRO -
Em Am Am7

I bought the paper yesterday
D G G/F#
And I saw the obituary
Em Am Am7
And I read of how you died in pain
D G G/F#
Well I just couldn´t understand it
Em Am Am7
If I could of changed that
D G G/F#
The Lord knows I´d do it now
Em Am Am7
But there is no going back
D Gmaj7 G7
And what´s done is done forever
Cmaj7
But you were always chained
D
And shackled by the dirt
F#m7b5
Of every small town institution
B7
And every big town flirt

Em Am D G G/F#

Same pattern as first time round but with lyrics below


And I think of what you might have been

A man of such great promise

Oh but, you seem to forget the dream

And the more you saw you hated

But let´s not talk of blame

For what is only natural

Like a moth going to a flame

You had a dangerous passion

But you were always chained

And shackled by the dirt

Of every small town institution

And every big town flirt

Em Am Am7
All the things that you might have been
D G G/F#
But who am I to say?
Em
Still I wonder
Am D G G/F#
If it´s in the cold earth you prefer to lay
Em Am
Oh, If it´s in the cold earth
D G G/F#
You prefer to stay
Em

Am D G
