Thanks, Brian for the lyrics. Here are the chords to go along with them.
If I've made an error in the chords let me know. I saw them in Guitar
or some mag. I can't remember. Anyway, they sound pretty true. One more
thing, just a regular G will do instead of a G7, I can't tell much
difference.

Okay - here's my version of "Suicide is Painless". The sheet music I had
was arranged for piano - so the chords and tab are just guesses. The music
sounds right on piano, but I haven't tested it on guitar.
