Roast Beef chords by Andy Gullahorn

Chords with lyrics

Intro A augmentedA

E MajorE    A augmentedA
He had roast beef for his last meal
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
His brothers went to market and to home
E MajorE    A augmentedA
He was cut off from his family
       D MajorD            A augmentedA
Because he wanted to find freedom on his own
       E MajorE         D MajorD
He saw his big chance for an escape
    E MajorE         D MajorD
In helicopter rotating blades
      A augmentedA       D MajorD
And said goodbye to the pigsty
   E4    E MajorE      A augmentedA  E/G#
Quick as a guillotine he was gone

F# minorF#m         D MajorD         A augmentedA
All his brother's jealous hearts were broken
A/C#A/C#         D MajorD         E MajorE
'Cause something was afoot there in that shoe
F# minorF#m         D MajorD
But they all stuck together
         C#4      F# minorF#m B minorBm E4 E MajorE
'Cause there's nothing they could do

       A augmentedA
He went from right there in the middle
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
To smack dab in the center of attention
E MajorE    A augmentedA
He was picked up, he was cradled
       D MajorD            A augmentedA
He was given his own freezer bag to live in
       E MajorE         D MajorD
And for the first time in his long life
       E MajorE         D MajorD
He felt the sunshine on every side
      A augmentedA       D MajorD
So he set sail like a hangnail
   E4        E MajorE    A augmentedA  E/G#
And waved back to the shore goodbye

F# minorF#m         D MajorD         A augmentedA
His brothers always said it was so crowded
A/C#A/C#         D MajorD         E MajorE
Well maybe now they'd finally have some space
F# minorF#m         D MajorD
But they were out of balance there
  C#4       F# minorF#m B minorBm E4 E MajorE
without him in his place

      F# minorF#m     B minorBm
So he came back from vacation
     A augmentedA    E4 E MajorE
Out of family obligation
   F# minorF#m           B minorBm
And rejoined with those four vandals
     A augmentedA       E4 E MajorE E4 E MajorE
For the sake of wearing sandals

    A augmentedA
Now we can't say he did not try
   D MajorD             A augmentedA
He gave up all his chances to be free
   E MajorE      A augmentedA
But once you've felt that kind of sunshine
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
You can't go back to the way you used to be
      E MajorE        D MajorD
So when I look down and remember
        E MajorE       D MajorD
Something's missing in the middle
     A augmentedA      D MajorD
May it always be a symbol
   E4    E MajorE   A augmentedA
One day that will be me
