Bm                  A
   Here is the tale.   It's spoken word for word.

Em            G               F#
   It may be abominable, but, yes, it must be heard

Bm                     A
   Nauseating at first.   You can expect the worst.

Em            G             F#
   So listen closely as the plot unfolds
[Pre-chorus]
G           Bm               G           F#
   I might stretch the truth.   Maybe a little lie.

G              Bm               A
   There was a boy named Brad.  He played trumpet and he died.

G                Bm             G                F#
   Too young for him to cease.  Why?  We haven't got a clue.

G              Bm        A
   It's on the Internet, so then it must be true.
[Chorus]
D     Em     Bm       A    G             Bm        A
The untimely death of Brad.   How sad it must have been.

D      Em      Bm    A     G           Bm         A   F#
If you see him any - where.   Remember to console h - im.
[Verse]
Bm                 A
   I curse the day  I ever met the boy.

Em                   G               F#
   Only the good die young, they say.

       Bm                               A
   The details of his death are vague.  Unbelievable it seems

Em           G           F#
   as if his passing was only a dream.
[Pre-chorus]
G          Bm    G       F#
   Catastrophe,    calamity,

G               Bm       A
   What will we tell his mother now?

G          Bm    G          F#
   Cataclysmic,    a tragic mishap,

G         Bm               A                F#
   I just heard that their band is breaking up.
[Interlude] Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F# Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F# [Pre-chorus]
G             Bm      G                 F#
   I hear his trumpet,  his voice rings in my ears,

G               Bm         A
   It sometimes seems he's standing very near.

G            Bm               G            F#
   I don't believe in ghosts.   I've never seen one,

G                Bm              A
   but isn't the trumpet playing haunting on this album?
[Chorus]
D     Em     Bm       A    G             Bm        A
The untimely death of Brad.   How sad it must have been.

D      Em      Bm    A     G           Bm         A   F#
If you see him any - where.   Remember to console h - im.
[Outro]
C    G                 A
A    day that lives in infamy.

C    G           A
In   horror we behold:

C    G
His  passing,

D    A
his  memory,

C          F#            B
   but the truth must be told.
