[Dbm] Last night in Los Angeles, Terry Tapp put what he thought [Db] was an empty pistol to his
head.
The rock music star [D] from Chicago pulled the trigger.
He was killed instantly.
Terry forgot that he had a round chamber.
[Dbm] And he took the grip out and he didn't clear the chamber.
The gun went off.
And he said he [D] just kind of laid his head back on the back of the [A] chair and he was gone.
Sleepless hours and clear as night and far away.
