Someone Died chords by Emitt Rhodes

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G       D      F          Em
Someone in my family has died
   Am         Em           F         C        G
My mother she cries as my father he comes to tell me
        D      F          Em
Someone in our family has died
Am            Em    F                C            G
He says to me in a voice soft and shaking like a baby


Chorus:
           C            Em             D
Just yesterday she was here now she's gone
G            C               Em                D
It does not seem like it's real, something's wrong
      C           G
She's gone, she's gone

Verse 2:
G            D       F         Em
I can still see her face as I left
       Am             Em                 F
When I saw her this morning things were bright and fresh
C                G
    It was a new day
G            D             F              Em
I can still hear the last thing that she said
     Am          Em          F       C
Now everyone's mourning her death
               G
Now that she's passed away


Chorus:
           C            Em             D
Just yesterday she was here now she's gone
G            C               Em                D
It does not seem like it's real, something's wrong
      C           G
She's gone, she's gone


             D              F             Em
I can still hear the last thing that she said
     C                           F         C     G
