C/GC/G
If I get murdered in the city
C majorC
Don’t go revengin' in my name
C/GC/G
One person dead from such is plenty
C majorC
No need to go get locked away


C majorC
When I leave your arms
C majorC
The things that I think of
C majorC
No need to get over alarmed
C majorC
I’m comin' home

(Repeats Intro)

C/GC/G
I wonder which brother is better
C majorC
Which one our parents love the most
C/GC/G
I sure did get in lots of trouble
C majorC
They seemed to let the other go


C majorC
A augmentedA tear fell from my father’s eyes
C majorC
I wondered what my dad would say
G+G
He said I love you
    C majorC
And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways

(Repeats Intro)

C/GC/G
If I get murdered in the city
C majorC
Go read the letter in my desk
C/GC/G
Don’t bother with all my belongings
C majorC
But pay attention to the list


C majorC
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
C majorC
Make sure my mother knows the same
C majorC
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
     C majorC
Like the love that let us share our name
C majorC
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
     C majorC
