NOFX – The Death Of John Smith (Guitar Solo)

Am
I've got respect from the community,

F                          C            G
I've got my bridge game to look forward to,

Am
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity,

F                          C            G
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to.

Am                                          F
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me,

                     C                G
To provide them with nothing but the best,

Am
I feel it's my duty, my obligation,

F                           C            G
To live up to the standards society suggests.

F                        C         G
 I'll keep on working for their benefit,

F                         G Am
And I'll keep on drinking,

F                             G                       Am
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.

Am
Another day of slaving and smiling,

F                   C          G
buying and trading, Living the life of a

Am
wealthy man, But somehow I don't

F              C     G
feel so rich inside.

Am
But that doesn't make sense, I just had

F                          C            G
this little vacation, As soon as I get this

Am
operation, Taken care of,

F                          C            G
I'll start enjoying, The good things in life.

F                        C         G
I'll keep on working for their benefit,

F                         G Am
And I'll keep on drinking,

F                             G                       A
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.

A                       G
When the pity spins your mind,

                     D
Darkness fills your heart,

                A
And I won't be around,

                          G
When you feel you're all alone,

                      D
Then you'll know it's time,

                A
To go into the ground,

                         G
When the pity spins your mind,

                     D
Darkness fills your heart,

                A     G A G A E D
And I won't be around.

Am
I've got my family, friends, and associates,

F                      C          G
To stand by me as the threshold comes near,

Am
Within their faces I see grave concern,

F                         C              G
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere.

Am                                F
After all these years of being complacent,

C         G
What do I get?

Am
Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?

       F                        C          G
Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret.

F                         C              G
I'll keep on believing my life still has value,

F                         G Am
And I'll keep on laughing,

F
Why can't I stop laughing?

G
I can't stop the laughing.
