Chords for Aurelio Voltaire - When You're Dead OFFICIAL

[N] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The [Eb] other day I took a walk because the air was sweet,
And I passed a crusty house of a curmudgeon on my street.
[Bbm] Now every town has got one, so I'm [Bb] sure you'll understand
When I tell you this old bastard is a mean and bitter [Eb] man.
_ _ _ _ _ Now this day it was special, I was wearing my new hat.
The old curmudgeon saw this and he disapproved of that.
He said, I've had one just like it for [Ab] ten years, you ripped me off.
You've [Bbm] got no right to wear a hat like mine, so [Eb] take it off. _ _
_ _ _ Now as it happens, I'm a gentleman, so I approached his porch.
I told him, great minds think alike, and you have one of course.
So how about I just tip my [Fm] hat to you when I come through?
[Bb] He reached down for his gun and said, I shoot [Eb] you and you do.
And [Abm] I said, no one's gonna cry [Eb] at your funeral.
_ [Abm] No one's gonna drink [Eb] at your wake.
_ _ [Abm] No one's gonna sigh [Eb] with a tear in their eye.
Because [Bb] no one's gonna miss you when [Eb] you're dead.
_ _ _ _ _ Well the next day I forgot this whole damn mess and went to [Ab] town.
And there I saw a [Eb] hundred or so posters all around.
[Db] And on them was my face and [Ab] I was wearing [Bb] my new hat.
And they read, this guy ripped me [Ab] off, I've got one [Eb] just like that. _ _
_ _ _ I took a walk down to his house to see if I could find
a way to show him that we're kindred spirits of the mind.
[F] I said, I didn't make these [Eb] hats, nor did you of course.
And hey, we [Bb] both love Johnny Cash, he [Eb] said, get on my porch.
And [Abm] I said, no one's gonna cry [Eb] at your funeral.
_ [Abm] No one's gonna drink [Eb] at your wake.
_ _ [Abm] No one's gonna sigh [Eb] with a tear in their eye.
Because [Bb] no one's gonna miss you when [Eb] you're dead.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Ab] _
When you look back on your life, [Eb] what will you see?
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
Did you spend [Abm] your time [Ebm] mending fences or planting mines?
_ [Abm] _
There's no shortage of potential [Eb] _
enemies.
_ _ _ So [Bb] don't waste so much _ time pushing away [Eb] your kind. _ _ _ _

_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ I thought I must be stupid or just crazy from the heat
when I went down to the [Eb] house of that curmudgeon on my street.
[D] Maybe it [Bb] was foolish to go to his house again.
[D] Just to show [Bb] this crazy drunken fool he had [Eb] a friend. _ _ _
_ _ _ When I got there, much to my surprise, he wasn't there.
He was gone, as was his shotgun and his rocket [F] chair.
I asked the neighbor lady [Fm] who was laying on [Bb] her lawn,
what happened to that mean old man?
She shrugged [Eb] it, that was all.
And I [Abm] said, no one's gonna cry at [Eb] your funeral.
_ No [Ab] one's gonna drink at [Eb] your wake.
_ [Abm] No one's gonna sigh with [Eb] a tear in their [Bb] eye.
Because no one's gonna miss you.
Hell, no one's gonna [Db] notice.
_ [Bb] And I'll enjoy the _ silence. _ _
