This is a depressing, yet great song. really fun to sing and play.
I didn't see a correct tab anywhere, so here it is.
I was nice enough to include the exact times when the parts come in too.
INTRO:
(00:18)
F#m D#5 D
(00:31)
A F#m D A
(00:50)
AMy father had dementia
C#mHe lied in bed for months
F#mOnce in a while he'd call me
And ask Dmme to fly down
BmI told him that I'd love to
But I Dhad things to do
And so he died withAout his son A/Ab F#m
I Bmheard about it drunk after a show D
(1:14)
AMy mother battled cancer
C#mFor over seven years
F#mI nursed her and I held her
When time Dmwas running out
The nigBmht before she left me
I drank scotchD all night
And thanked her for everything she'd Adone A/Ab F#m
BmRaising me alone wasn't much fun D
(1:37)
ASo Dad I can forgive you,
But I'lEl never forget,
BmMonths I wouldn't see you and when I did You'd be D
Aout with your friends all night
EAlone and only nine
I Bmwatched the outer limits
While scareDd out of my mind
AI wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died A/Ab
F#mI wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
BmI bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
A2006 A/Ab
F#mgoodbye parents
For once sincere D
2006 my orphan year A
