Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
[C]Stepchild,
you [Bb]have outlived your [F]time
You [Dm]represent em[C]barrassment
and fail[Bb]ure[A]
And [G]the father who [C]must [G]be killed[C]
Is [G]the blight [C]upon your [F]blighted [D]life
And his [G]might is his [C]legal [G]right[C]
[G]To gro[C]und you dow[F]n[D]
[Dm]Stepchild, [C]with eve[Bb]ry
petty [F]swipe
[Dm]You just might find you're
[C]fighting [E]for [C]your [Bb]life[A]
And [G]the father who [C]must be [G]killed[C]
Is [G]a step [C]farther but
[F]nonethe[D]less
[G]The way [C]he chews his [G]food[C]
[G]Rips right [C]through your [F]senses[D]
[C]Stepchild, there's [Bb]a knife in
a drawer in a [F]room downstairs
And [Dm]you, you [C]know what
you must [Bb]do[A]
So the [E]stepchild ran with a
knife to his sleeping [A]frame
And slams it in his arms, his leg[D]s,
his face, his neck and says
There's a law [Am]against me now
And [G]the father who [C]must be [G]killed[C]
With his [G]dying [C]breath, he [F]grabs her [D]hand
And he [G]looks in[C]to her [G]eyes[C]
[G]He says "I'[C]m sorry" and he die[F]s[D][G][C][G][C][G]
[C][F][D][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][F][D]
[Dm]Stepchild, [E]I r[C]ele[Bb]ase y[F]ou
With this [Dm]broken voice I
[C]beseech [Bb]you[A]
Why are [E]lives so short?
The stepchild thought half
[A]pointing to the sky
No one to [D]warn me
No hand to touch me
And no [Am]Bible- belters to mess with me
Mama don't miss [E]me
Mama don't miss me
This death [A]will complete me
"But where I [D]go there will
be no one to meet me
I know there will [Am]be no one to meet me"
But still the [E]step- child press
the knife to her throat
Half [A]pointing to the sky
Just as [Am]mother- [D]less birds fly high
Then so shall [D]I[E]
So [A]shall I
So shall [A]I[D]
So shall I

[Outro 1]
So shall I
