Ok so the song is pretty simple just uses
the D G and A and follows the same chord structure
through most of the song cept for the second and third verse...
but even then its not that big a deviation!
This was Josh's first song and my first tab so if there are any mistakes I'm sorry!
Murder On My Mind
CI'm awful sad to say
FThat my partner died last week
CAnd I'm so shook up inside,
FI can barely even spGeak,
CI don't know how he died
FIt all came as such a shFock......
But Ci suspect he started feeling ill
GWhen i hit him with a roCck
CWe where partners in a claim
FUp in gold hill Idaho,
CAnd we'd yet to find something
FGolden except the yGellow snow,(first song)
CMy partner joe god bless his Fsoul
HGad hit the mother loaCd
C"Well I'll use my gold" said my partner Joe
FTo get my education
CAnd if any is left when I am through
FI'll give it to sick chiGldren
CWell i thought that Joe was crazy
FFor to hear him talk like thFat.....
CSo i decided it was best for joe
GIf he took a little nCap
CSo i picked up a big old piece of gold,
FAnd I hit joe on the head,
CAnd joe shut his weary eyes,
FAnd lay down on the rocky bGed,
C"you take some rest my faithful friend"
FSaid i as joe lay down
CAnd let me load this wagon
FWith the gold that you have foGund.
(This is my first song I'm not proud)
So like the true friend that i was
I loaded up the ore
While my partner joe lay silently
sleeping on the floor
And when the gold was loaded
And i was set to get to town.....
I tried to wake my sleepy friend
But he refused to come around.
"Well if that don't wake you up,
I know something that just might"
Said I as i lit up
A few sticks of dynamite,
I settle down and waited,
For them to wake Joe from his dream....
But alas i put the sticks to close and Joe blew to smithereens,
And if Joes luck wasnt bad enough
He lay close toe the mine,
And when the dynamite went off,
he was covered by mountain slime,
Alas said I "all evidence
Is gone of poor Joe's life....
All that left is a ton of gold
And a little less dynamite,
So now Joe rests in pieces,
And i on a water bed,
But it doesnt bother me a bit,
That my partner joe is dead,
For while some people might say
That miner got the shaft.....(first song)
I'm the only one that knows
That Old Joe had a blast
Hope it sounds ok!
