Chords

‘Normal’ from Dead Outlaw has been my Roman Empire for the last week, so here’s my transcription based on the original broadway cast recording. Happy Playing! [ELMER]
G
All those grudges
That I held like some precious metal
                      D7
I don't need them anymore
All those slights Lingering memories of fights
                                       G
And the aching, tragic facts I can't ignore

                   Am      D7
They don't mean nothin' anymore

              G                       Am
Like normal people, not like I was before
Don't know what I wanna be Just as long as it ain't me
               D7
Like normal people

            G
I used to wake up
Every day, an uneasy feeling
                            D7
Knew that I would have to leave
Family ties Just another pack of lies
                                    G
And I couldn't find a reason to believe
[ELMER & ERIK]
              Am
Here in the West

          D7
I start again

              G                         Am
Like normal people who falter now and then
[ELMER] Man content with what he's got Even if he'll be forgot
               D7
Like normal people
[ELMER & ERIC]
      G
And here

                      D7
In a normal prairie town

                      Am
On a normal, dusty street

                          D7
There's a normal frontier gal

      G
And she

                             D7
She'll be waitin' there for me

                         Am
To be as normal as we please

                        D7
Just how normal can we be?
D7 G G D7 D7 Am G D7
            Am
An honest man

                D7
That you can trust

               G                       Am
Like normal people who soon return to dust
[ELMER] I'll stand here on the ground And watch the world go 'round
              D7
Like normal people
[ELMER & ERIK]
     G
And I

                       D7
Could be normal, in a way

                         Am
Like a normal man would be

                         D7
What a normal man would say

      G
And she

                            D7
She'll be waitin' there for me

                        Am
To be as normal as we please
D7 (let Ring) Just how normal can we be?
