 [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]G[/ch]   \r\nAnd forgetting to float he sunk like lead and stayed until dead[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]D(sus4)[/ch]                  \r\nAnd was relieved to find [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]      [ch]C(sus4)[/ch]\r\nLord, just how kind [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIt all
