Bb Cm Am Life's extension lottery Gm F Kind to some, but not to thee Bb C Am Born with a rare and sad disease Gm C F She grew a ham where her head should be

Bb Am Got a call from the doctor Gm F He had some amazing news for her Bb Am He just developed a cure Gm F If she hurried over now, he'd try it out on her Bb Am Burst out the door, she was beaming Gm F Among the raindrops her happy tears were streaming Bb Am Finally free from her pain Gm F But something else fell with the rain Bb Am A stray bullet shot by her father Gm F Painlessly nested inside her Bb Am She fell to the the sidewalk, now empty Gm F Of the life which once christened her body

[Post-Chorus]
Bb F Am Soaring infinitely through space Gm F Hamantha's soul was graced Bb Am With a glance of our humble planet Gm F At which she was amazed Bb Am The news of her untimely death Gm F Had spread out near and far Bb Am And through her soul, the truth was whole Gm F The dream had crossed the bar Gm F Hamantha had become a star Gm F Hamantha was finally a star Gm F Hamantha had become a star Bb C F Hamantha was finally a star
