If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder

Is up to you

In the distance like some siren

Around their little finger, oh love

And If I lose my voice
 C                                  G
If I have no choice but to Go quiet
 Am7
Won't you sing for me
 C                     G
a melody into the night there
 Am7
And if I die too young

And if the wolf he comes

Fee-fi-fo-fum

If I die too young

Oh, if the locust come
 G
Well then run, run, run free

If you ever hear that gunshot
You may think 'bout what you Do but you don't got

Say a prayer
Think of mother

I Am a rock

If you ever hear that sound now
If the door gets kicked in here, they come now

Think of others
Be their cover

I Am what they're not

Pray for Paris
 C
They cannot scare us
 G
Or stop the music
 Am7
You got a sweet voice, child

 Why don't you use it?

If I die too young
 C
If the gunmen come
 G
I'm full of love
 Am7
So release me
 C
Every piece of me
 G
Up above, Up above

Love my mama and my papa
Love my sister
Can't stand the coppers

Up in their choppers

Oh, flying overhead
Forty-nine dead

Singing, oh, my Lord, carry me home
Oh, my Lord, carry me home

Oh, my Lord, come carry me home

And if I die too young

For something I ain't done

Carry my name
Every day

Oh, I'm sorry
 C
Oh, I'm sorry
 G
Freddie Gray

But sleep easy

Like baby Jesus

In a manger

Beautiful stranger

If I die too young

Let all that I've done

Be remembered

And I'll sleep easy

In his manger

Like some songbird
