Chords with lyrics

[Introduction]
E MajorE


[Verse 1]
E MajorE
 If you ever hear that thunder,
     E MajorE
put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
        A augmentedA
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
    A augmentedA                      E MajorE
Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name, is up to him
E MajorE
 If you ever hear that crying
    E MajorE
in the distance like some siren
        A augmentedA
Maybe there's a singer with no ring
          E MajorE
around their little finger, no love
     F# minorF#m         A augmentedA            E MajorE
And if I lose my voice, if I have no choice but to go quiet
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night air
     F# minorF#m          A augmentedA            E MajorE
And if I die too young, or the wolf he comes, fee-fi-fo-fum
   F# minorF#m            A augmentedA            E MajorE
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come, well then, run, run, run, free

[Verse 2]
      E MajorE
If you ever hear that gunshot,
    E MajorE
you may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
E MajorE
 If you ever hear that sound now
    E MajorE
If the door gets kicked in, here they come now
     A augmentedA
Think of others, be their cover
         E MajorE
I am what they're not
     F# minorF#m        A augmentedA           E MajorE
Pray for Paris, they cannot scare us, or stop the music
     F# minorF#m           A augmentedA     E MajorE
You got a sweet voice, child, why don't you use it?
   F# minorF#m           A augmentedA            E MajorE
If I die too young, or if the gunmen come, I'm full of love
   F# minorF#m       A augmentedA        E MajorE
So release me, every piece of me, up above, (Up above)

[Verse 3]
E MajorE
 Love my mama and my papa
E MajorE                           A augmentedA
 Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
        E MajorE
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
E MajorE
  Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
      A augmentedA
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord, oh my God, oh my Lord,
               E MajorE
oh my God, oh my Lord, Oh, my Lord
     F# minorF#m             A augmentedA           E MajorE
And if I die too young for something I ain't done, carry my name every day
    F# minorF#m       A augmentedA       E MajorE
Oh, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm sorry, Freddie Gray
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA     E MajorE
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
     F# minorF#m       A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
E MajorE
Oh, beautiful stranger


[Instrumental]
E MajorE


[Outro]
   F# minorF#m        A augmentedA            E MajorE
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
        F# minorF#m      A augmentedA      E MajorE
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
        F# minorF#m       A augmentedA        E MajorE
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
   F# minorF#m       A augmentedA          E MajorE
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger
   F# minorF#m       A augmentedA          E MajorE
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger
E MajorE
