[Fm] [E] [C] [Fm]
[E] [C] Some [Fm] might say we're [E] released, [Ab] wishing [Bbm] daisies deceased,
[Ab] But we all know those [C] must be [Fm] fed.
[C] [Fm] There's just one [E] lingering fear,
[Eb] Oh my soul, is it [Bbm] here, or is [Ab] it rotting [C] somewhere with [Fm] my head?
Oh [Eb]
my soul, [Ab] oh my soul, oh [Eb] my soul, oh [Ab] my [Bb]
soul,
[Fm] [Em] [C] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Ab]
[G] [E]
[Db] Oh
[Bbm]
[Ebm] [Ab]
[C] [Fm] Oh
Oh no soul [C] and no name [Ab] and no story
What [Ebm] a shame
[Ab] Cruel existence was [C] only a [Fm] sham
Oh Saint Peter, let [C] me in
[Ab] You must know [Eb] where I've been
Then won't [Ab] you tell me [C] at last who [Fm] I am?
[Eb] Who I am?
[Ab]
[Eb] Who I am?

[Fm]
from the ground beneath my feet
I [Db] hear the anguish of the street A whine
And like an [Fm] old forgotten tune
A song that no one [Db] knows
Forgot how it goes
[C] Just John and me Forever, eternally [Fm] Jane Doe
[Db] [D]
[Fm] And I'm asking Why, Lord?
Is this this [C] heart?
[G] Die, [C] Lord
Why be left with [Bb] no family [C] and [Fm] no friends?
[Ab] [Db] I've [Fm] got no celebration
This is [C] [Bb] [C] consolation
Time eats all his children [Fm] in the end
[Gm] Oh
A melody floats through the air
When silence [Cm] falls
Does no one care?
Another [Gm] [Gb] sad, forgotten [Gm] tune
Another song that [Eb] no one knows
So that's how it goes
[D] Just John and me Forever, eternally
[G] Jane [Gm] Doe
[C] And she's [Gm] asking Why, Lord?
Why, why, why, why?
Is this this heart?
[D] Die, Lord
Is this still the one?
Isn't there [Gb] anyone?
Tell me [Gm] who I am
[Eb] Nothing [D] in song but [Gm] celebration
Just the song is [D]

Thank John for all the
[Eb] eternal name
