ballad of the dying man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Em]
[Fdim][Em][D]
Naturally the dying [Bm]man

[Verse 1]
[C]
wonders to [Em]himself[D]
Has commentary been more [Bm]lucid
[C]than anybody [Em]else?
[F#m]And had he successively beaten
back the [D]rising tide
Of idiots, [Bm]dilettantes, [Daug]and fools
On his watch [Fdim]while he was [Em]alive
[D]Lord, jus[Fdim]t a little more time
[Bb][Bm]

[Verse 2]
Oh, [D]in no time at all
This'll be [G]the dis[D]tant [F#m]past[Em]
[E]Ooh
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]
So says the dying [Bm]man [C]once
I'm in [Em]the box[D]
Just think of all the over[Bm]rated
[C]hacks running [Em]amok
And all [F#m]of the pretentious,
ignorant voices that will [D]go unchecked
The [Bm]homophobes, hipsters,
[Daug]and 1%
The false feminists he'd man
[Fdim]aged to de[Em]tect
[D]Oh, who[Fdim] will critique them
once [Bb]he's left?
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
Oh, [D]in no time at all
This'll be [G]the dis[D]tant [A]pas[Asus4]t

[Verse 5]
[F]What he'd give for one [A]more
day [D]to rate and ana[G]lyze
[D]The wor[Em]ld made in his ima[A]ge as of yet[D]
To real[G]ize what [Bm]a mess[G][Bm]
to [Em]leave behind
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
Eventually the dying [Bm]man
[C]takes his final [Em]breath
[D]But first checks his news feed [Bm]to see
what [C]he's 'bout [Em]to miss
And it oc[F#m]curs to him a little
late [D]in the game
We leave as [Bm]clueless as
[Daug]we came
For the rented heavens to
[Fdim]the shadows in [Em]the cave[D]
We'll [Fdim]all be wrong som[Bb]eday[Bm]

[Outro 1]
Oh
[G][D][Em][G][D][Bm][Em]
[G][F#][Bm][Em][G][F#m][Em]
[G][D][Bm][Em][G][D][Bm]
[Em][G][Bm][Em][G][Bm]
[Em]
