Mr. Wilmington
guitar chords lyrics
This is my first tab, it annoyed me that there was no information on how to play this song,
so I worked out a way of doing so. This is also my first tab, so any constructive
criticism is welcomed.

You dreamed he'd shine like the sun now your sun has set

Hey dad, grab another cigarette

Ashes fall like an unpaid debt, Come on everybody place your bets

In seventh grade he dug his grave

Trying to be cool with the cool kids, hey

Follow everything they say, you might fit in if you misbehave

You didn't bend but you sure did lean

It's hard enough to hide your scars

Don't blame yourself, you raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

At 21 you found his gun

Hey dad, it's just begun

The ties that bind, they come undone

Decadence was all he wore

You do not deserve this
(Chorus)

At the funeral, read his eulogy

Insincere apologies
