G/B

G/B = -20010

Capo 4th fret

C F

Who do you think would even show up at the funeral day?

C G/B Am F

Staring six feet down, that's my hallowed ground

C F

Just a bed of dirt and bones, that's where I'll lay

C G/B Am G

Words carved like a poem into some cheap headstone

Dm G

And who's so lucky

C G/B Am G

but to have a few dear souls tried and true?

Dm G C

And could you even hear the brassy sounds

G/B Am G F

of those last bells crying out?

C G/B

I'm just a dark horse

with a pale heart

on a cold night

for a long walk

G/B

Just a dead flame

fuck the old game

lay me down now

Am G F

I've got a new naaaaaaame

C F

Would anyone show up with a few last words to say?

C G/B Am F

And toast my final hour, at least piss on my grave?

C F

Maybe there's a sad song that a lonely trumpet could play

C G/B Am G

The tune could flutter on into an evening sun

Dm G

And who's so lucky

C G/B Am G

but to have a few dear souls tried and true?

Dm G C

There won't be a chorus from a crowd

G/B Am G F

just the crickets chirping loud...

C G/B

I'm just a dark horse

with a pale heart

on a cold night

for a long walk

G/B

Just a dead flame

fuck the old game

lay me down now

Am G F

I've got a new naaaaaaame

Am G/B C G F
