Capo III
If you find C7M(no5) too difficult to reach, C7M is a great alternative. Just
leave the B & G string open.
Bridge IV's Am could be a C, I can't really tell.
I will release a tab version of the song once I figure it out. This chord
progression is just for fun.

(Verse)x2

(Verse)
If I get murdered in the city
don't go revenging in my name.
(Verse)
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away.

(Bridge I)
When I leave your arms;
(Bridge II)
the things that I think of...
(Bridge III)
No need to get over alarmed.
(Bridge IV)
I'm coming home!

(Verse)x2

(Verse)
I wonder which sibling is better
which one our parents loved the most
(Verse)
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go

(Bridge I)
A tear fell from my fathers eye
(Bridge II)
I wondered what my dad would say
(Bridge III)
He'd say I love you and I'm proud of you both
(Bridge IV)
In so many different ways

(Verse)x2

(Verse)
If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
(Verse)
Don't bother with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

(Bridge I)
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
(Bridge II)
Make sure my mother knows the same

(Bridge III)
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
(Bridge V)
like the love that let us share our name

(Bridge III)
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
(Bridge V)
like the love that let us share our name

(Verse) x2
