Brad Paisley – Death Of A Single Man (Guitar)

      E  C#7/G#   F#m    B7
Remember when we got the news

     E    C#7/G#  F#m   B7    
Confirming our worst fears

     E    C#7/G#             A7   Am
I said he wouldn’t make it six months

     F#m7         B7  E      B7
And others gave him a year

E        C#7/G#   F#m7    B7
And sure enough last Saturday

    E    C#7/G#   F#m7  B7
We paid our last respects

    E    C#7/G#  F#m7  B7  A    Am
He left us here still in this life

     F#m7     B7        E       F#m7  E7/G#
And he’s gone on to the next

    A      A7        G#   G#7
I’d never seen him wear a tie

        C#m7                F#7            G#7 
But he looked so natural, almost lifelike

     A        A7         G#     G#7
The preacher spoke, his mother cried

              C#m7              F#7      B7
When he said “Son, you may now kiss the bride”

E         C#7/G#    F#m7        B7
Everyone cheered, I thought how odd

E        A      Am
I didn’t understand

E        C#m7               A    Am
Why with champagne and cake we celebrate

     F#m7       B7    E     B7
The death of a single man

E       C#7/G#     F#m7     B7
So many flowers, he was so loved

E C#7/G# G#dim7 F#m7  B7
Prior to the     bride

E     C#7/G#  
As a matter of fact

     A7     Am     F#7           B7   E     F#m7  E7/G#
The maid of honor should be disqualified

   A7                 G#7  
To all his friends, it’s a wake-up call

C#m7
If it happened to him

F#m7                G#7
It can happen to us all

A7              G#7
Nothing says it’s over man

C#m7              F#7   B7
Like a bad 80’s cover band

E          E/G#     A   Am
How can we dance to My Sharona

          E        B7    E
At the death of a single man

E          C#7/G#
He was so young

     F#m7   B7
So full of dreams

           C#7/G#  F#m7 B7
Before the day he fell

E        C#7/G#        A      Am
Now he’s gone on to a better place

    F#7     B7  E
Or possibly to hell

A7                 G#7
Now here we are, seems so unfair

C#m7                          F#7             G7  G#7
It’s poker night and there’s one empty chair

A               G#7
So many things we’re gonna miss

C#m7                     F#7            A7
His happy smile and that great laugh of his

E           C#7.G#    F#m7  B7
I think of him in the afterwife, life

E                 A         Am
I guess all good things must end

E                 C#7/G#     A      Am
So with Jack and Coke, we’ll make a toast

        F#m7       B7    E     Emaj7   E7  Emaj6
To the death of a single man
