Verse-
Guitar 1
Well, I Amwonder which song they're gonna Eplay when we go
I hope it's Amsomething quiet and minor and peaceful and Fslow
when we Amfloat out into the ether, into the EEverlasting Arms,
I hope we Amdon't hear Marley's chains we forged in Flife
'cause the Amchains I been Fhearing now for Cmost of my Glife

And I Amwonder were you scared when the Emetal hit the glass?
See, I was Amplaying a show down the road
when your spirit left your Fbody
And they Amtold me on the front lawn
I'm Esorry I couldn't go,
but I Amstill know the song and the words and her name and the Freasons
And I Amknow 'cause we were Fkids and Cwe used to Ghang
And I Amknow 'cause we were Fkids and Cwe used to Ghang
