C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C (X2)

C        Em             Am   G
If I get murdered in the city
F          G           C
Don't go revenging in my name
C          Em               Am     G
One person dead from such is plenty
F         G              C
No need to go get locked away.
Am     G          C
When I leave your arms
Am             G        C
the things that I think of
Am         G   F           C 
No need to get over-alarmed
Am  G          C
I'm coming home 


C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C (X2)


C       Em               Am    G
I wonder which brother is better
F                G             C
which one our parents loved the most
C          Em            Am      G
I sure did get in lots of trouble
F             G             C
They seemed to let the other go
Am          G                C
A tear fell from my father's eye
Am         G                 C
I wondered what my dad would say
Am         G                F            C
He'd say I love you and I'm proud of you both
      Am   G             C
In so many different ways


C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C (x2)


C        Em              Am   G
If I get murdered in the city
F           G            C
Go read the letter in my desk
C            Em          Am        G
Don't bother with all my belongings
F       G                C
But pay attention to the list
Am        G                     C
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Am        G                    C
Make sure my mother knows the same


Am          G             F             C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Am               G             C
like the love that let us share our name

Am          G             F             C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Am               G             C
like the love that let us share our name


C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C (x2)
