[Intro]

[Verses]
Eb       Gm             Cm   Bb
If I get murdered in the city
Ab         Bb          Eb
Don't go revenging in my name
Eb         Gm               Cm     Bb
One person dead from such is plenty
Ab        Bb             Eb
No need to go get locked away.
Cm     Bb         Eb
When I leave your arms
Cm             Bb       Eb
the things that I think of
Cm         Bb  Ab          Eb
No need to get over-alarmed
Cm  Bb         Eb
I'm coming home


Eb Gm  Cm  Bb Ab Bb Eb (X2)


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


Eb Gm  Cm  Bb Ab Bb Eb (x2)


Eb       Gm              Cm   Bb
If I get murdered in the city
Ab          Bb           Eb
Go read the letter in my desk
Eb           Gm          Cm        Bb
Don't bother with all my belongings
Ab      Bb               Eb
But pay attention to the list
Cm        Bb                    Eb
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Cm        Bb                   Eb
Make sure my mother knows the same


Cm          Bb            Ab            Eb
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Cm               Bb            Eb
like the love that let us share our name

Cm          Bb            Ab            Eb
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Cm               Bb            Eb
like the love that let us share our name


Eb Gm  Cm  Bb Ab Bb Eb (x2)
