In Memoriam Chords by Ian Felice

_ _ _ Tell me what have I done to [A] [E] deserve this golden sun?
To [A] deserve [E] this golden sun?
What have I done? _ _
_ _ I was walking down by the tracks
Where [A] the [E] communist bees relax
In [A] their [E] hives of golden wax
When I thought I should run _ _
_ _ I was whistling _ [C#m] past the grave
[A] The [E] grave of [C#m] old Tom Paine
[E] [A] When I heard my [E] mother call my name
Fly away home _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She was watching the Price is Right _
[A] Or the wheel [E] with Vanna White _ _
[A] Wrapped in [E] ephemeral white
With her head in her hand _ _ _ _ _
It's a mystery so surreal _
[A] No [E] newsman will ever reveal
How [A] destiny [E] spun the wheel
And killed my old man
_ _ _ _ I [A] was whistling [E] _ [C#m] past the grave _
The _ _ _ [A] _ grave [E] of old Tom Paine
[A] When I heard my mother [E] call my name
Fly away home _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, my father was poor as the rain
[A] And his father [E] was poor the same _
[A] And I'm poor as [E] poor heart cream
But that's neither here nor there
And _ I'm wasted and nearly in tears _
[A] With the same old [E] working class fear _
[A] Pulling coins from the [E] children's ears
In grief and despair
_ I _ _ [A] was [E] whistling [C#m] past the grave
The _ _ _ _ [A] grave [E] of old [C#m] Tom Paine
[A] When I heard my [E] mother call my name
[B] Fly away [E] home
