The Saddest Song
by Morphine
Good (1993)
Tuning: Standard
BmOn my first day back, Afirst day back in town
BmFirst day, my first day back in Atown
The Bmclouds up above, they were Ahumming our song
BmHumming, humming our Asong
BmMy biggest fear is Aif I let you go,
  GYou'll come and get me in my F#sleep
BmMy biggest fear is Aif I let you go,
  GYou'll come and get me in my F#sleep
Come and gBmet me.A  Bm  A  
I Bmset my course, Asailed away from shore
BmSteady, steady as she Agoes
I Bmcrash in the night, Atwo worlds collide
But Bmwhen two worlds collide no one Asurvives no one survives and
The Bmreddest of reds, the Abluest of blues
The Bmsaddest of songs I'll Asing for you.
BmMy biggest fear is Aif I let you go,
  GYou'll come and get me in my F#sleep
BmMy biggest fear is Aif I let you go,
  GYou'll come and get me in my F#sleep
( Bmand  Auntil end)
Come and get me. Come and get me in my sleep.
These are the chords I recommend using, though you can do them any way you want:
Bm       A         G         F#
E|-2-    E|-0-     E|-3-     E|-2-|
B|-3-    B|-2-     B|-3-     B|-2-|
G|-4-    G|-2-     G|-4-     G|-3-|
D|-4-    D|-2-     D|-5-     D|-4-|
A|-2-    A|-0      A|-5-     A|-4-|
E|-2-    E|-0-     E|-3-     E|-2-|
if you want to more closely match the bass riff, you can add a quick F# after every  
A in each verse. and that's it, hope you enjoy it.
