Cm
         Eb                      Bb
He wasn't famous but I sure did love him

             Ab                   Eb
I've got his picture in a little frame 

            Eb              Bb               Ab             Eb
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name 

            Fm               Bb 
But there's so many more and I've lost count

     Gm                 Cm 
The hows and whys aren't important now

         Ab                     Bb
All that matters is they came around 

     Ab                     Eb
And brightened up our lives
She was twenty one with her life ahead You don't need to know her name She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade But fate's right hand isn't always just Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust She was just a little girl, ain't that enough To rage against the day chorus:
    Ab                 Eb
And how did we get so lucky

Bb                      Cm         Cm/B
Targets on the rifle range

   Ab                  Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose

Bb                    Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose

           Ab                  Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues 

    G                 Cm        
And blues never fade away 

Cm/B         Ab                  Eb
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls 

    G                   Cm
But blues never fade away 
He shone so bright with a lust for life Like the Sun King that he was His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth And for reasons I never understood About the choices made between the bad and good I've tried to figure out why The pain never goes away [repeat chorus]
            G                  Cm
And there's marble markers and little white crosses 

 G               Cm             
Along the beaten path 

          Ab                Eb
And I've spread their ashes on the wind 

       Bb                 Cm
And I miss John Lennon's laugh 
[repeat chorus]
