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
and your Amlook was vintage and wild but now you're stuck in the Dsand
[Chorus]
'Cause it G/Eonly G/F#took a Gcouple of minutes and all the fish had a G/F#new Emhome
and I was feeling so aClone as I Dcalled my daddy on the GphoneG/B G
Oh though it G/Eonly G/F#took a cGouple of days and I could look into my father's G/F#eyes Emagain
I got this feeling of Cshame in my head, this Dfact remains: Chris is GdeadG/E G/F#
[Verse 2]
GWell, anyway I was surfing on my Fboard behind the boat
when I heard Ca big crash and suddenly rocks and stones appeared from the C/Bwater
and AmI 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.
GAnd then my sister started scrFeaming
Oh my God we're taking in Cwater I've got water up to my knees
and then she picked up the sailor C/Bphone and sAmhe, she dialed 911
'cause she was in a shock and I was too, you knowD. I didn't know what to do
[Chorus]
'Cause it G/Eonly G/F#took a Gcouple of minutes and all the fish had a G/F#new Emhome
and I was feeling so aClone as I Dcalled my daddy on the GphoneG/B G
Oh though it G/Eonly G/F#took a cGouple of days and I could look into my father's G/F#eyes Emagain
I got this feeling of Cshame in my head, this Dfact remains: Chris is Gdead
Oh, Chris G/F#is dEmead
But look, you've got a G/F#new sGong
Yeah, but Chris G/F#is dEmead
But hey, you've got this G/F#new sGong
