Murdered In The City

The Avett Brothers

Text File

Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd

not sure what this chord is, so I will call it E2 as it is based on an E minor 
chord but with the E on the D string removed and with a C on the B string.

E2 - 0 2 0 0 1 0

Intro

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

Verse 1

C        E2              Am      G
If I get murdered in the city,
F        G               C
don't go revengin' in my name.
C          E2                Am       G
One person dead from such is plenty,
F          G             C
no need to go get locked away
Am     G          C
When I leave your arms,
Am              G       C
the things that I think of
Am         G   F           C
No need to get over-alarmed
Am  G      C
I'm coming home.

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

C        E2               Am      G
I wonder which brother is better
F             G                C
Which one our parents love the most.
C          E2             Am        G
I sure did get in lots of trouble,
F            G             C
they seem to let the other go.
Am          G                C
A tear fell from my father's eyes,
Am         G                 C
I wondered what my dad would say.
Am      G
He Said I love you, 
        F            C
but i'm proud of you both,
Am         G         C
In so many different ways.


Again:

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

C        E2              Am     G
If I get murdered in the city,
F           G            C
go read the letter in my desk.
C            E2          Am           G
Don't bother with all my belongings,
F       G               C
but pay attention to my list.
Am           G                   C
Make sure my sister knows I love her,
Am           G                C
make sure my mother knows the same
Am     G                  F             C        
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Am               G         C
like the love that let us share our name. 
Am     G                  F            C        
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
         Am               G         C
like the love that let us share our name. 

Finish on:

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C
