You can play C7maj(no5) two different ways. I like the first one.  

The song:                     
C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C        C7maj(no5)        C/E   Am/E  Fmaj7
If I get murdered in the city
         Am/E               C
don't go revenging in my name.
                C7maj(no5)     C/E    Am/E   Fmaj7
One person dead from such is plenty
           Am/E          C     Am
No need to go get locked away.

       G          C     Am
When I leave your arms;
           G            C     Am
the things that I think of...
           G      Fmaj7    C       
No need to get over alarmed.
Am  G      C
I'm coming home!

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C        C7maj(no5)         C/E    Am/E   Fmaj7
I wonder which brother is better
              Am/E              C
which one our parents loved the most
           C7maj(no5)       C/E     Am/E   Fmaj7
I sure did get in lots of trouble
               Am/E          C   Am
They seemed to let the other go

       G                    C    Am
A tear fell from my fathers eye
           G                 C    Am
I wondered what my dad would say
         G                  Fmaj7        C
He'd say I love you and I'm proud of you both
Am         G         C
In so many different ways

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C        C7maj(no5)        C/E   Am/E   Fmaj7
If I get murdered in the city
            Am/E         C
Go read the letter in my desk
             C7maj(no5)    C/E       Am/E   Fmaj7
Don't bother with all my belongings
        Am/E             C    Am
But pay attention to the list

             G               C          Am
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
             G                C     Am
Make sure my mother knows the same

       G                  Fmaj7         C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
                          G         C    Am
like the love that let us share our name
       G                  Fmaj7         C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
                          G         C
like the love that let us share our name
